In particular, tissue access devices and methods in the mid-facial region are provided. The device is an implantable, biodegradable structure with attachment points emerging from the support backing. The device may also be an extension member extending from the backing, for example formed to receive a tissue or bone attachment device at one of a plurality of selectable positions on the extension member through an engagement hole extending in a line away from the backing. Have a string When tissue engages the point of attachment, the elongate member is pulled until the tissue approaches the desired location. The suitable extending member hole (s) is then selected and attaches the extending member to the supporting tissue or bone (eg, temporary fascia) for permanent tissue access. |
