Abstract

Facial lipectomy is an effective face-lifting technique. Using a line from the malar surface of one side of the face to the submental crease to the malar surface of the other side as a guide, the surgeon removes and sculptures the excess adipose tissue that forms with aging into a youthful firm jawline. We have used this technique in 520 patients since 1971 with excellent results and no complications. More follow-up is needed to establish the long-term results.
