Progression of Facelift Techniques Over the Years

  • 2859 Accesses

Abstract

Time is showing that when the chief complaint of facial aging includes flattening of the midface, deepening of the nasolabial and mesolabial folds, jowling, and platysmal banding, the “time-tested” traditional rhytidectomy which deals with repositioning of facial musculature and removal of excess skin and fat provides the highest intersection of safety, efficacy, and longevity. As younger patients presented for improvement of facial features, these less-invasive procedures gained some popularity, especially with the false stigmata of the term “facelift.” The history of facelift procedures is discussed. The variety of procedures such as limited flap rhytidectomy, extended flap rhytidectomy, and deep-plane rhytidectomy are described.
