presentation
1
Preoperative evaluation
Explore patient’s desires and motivations
SAFE
 Self-image
 Anxiety
 Fear
 Expectation
2
Potential contraindications
 Diabetes
 Smoking
 Collagen-vascular disease
 Psychiatric history
 Steroid use
3
Clinical Evaluation
“Face-lift”
Chin/neck lift
Nasolabial fold
Fine or deep rhytids
Ideal patient
Elastic and not too much
skin
Little fat
Good bone structure (hyoid)
4
Clinical Evaluation
Less than ideal
candidates
Discuss expectations in
detail
Need for other
procedures
5
Clinical Evaluation
Important to assess
hyoid position
High hyoid is ideal for
cervicomental angle
6
Clinical Evaluation
Adjunctive
Techniques
Laser peel
Dermabrasion
Chemical peel
Neck treatment
Implants
Blepharoplasty
Forehead lift
Rhinoplasty
7
Anatomy (SMAS)
Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System
SMAS
Facial nerve lies deep to the SMAS
Posteriorly, the SMAS fuses with the fascia overlying
the sternocleidomastoid muscle, but it is a distinct
layer superficial to the parotid fascia
Anterosuperiorly, the SMAS invests the facial
mimetic muscles of the mid-face (i.e., orbicularis
oculi, zygomatic major/minor, levator labii superioris)
the melolabial crease and upper lip
 Scalp
 galea
 Upper face
 continuous with frontalis and
orbicularis oculi
 Temporal region
 temporoparietal fascia (superficial
temporal fascia)
 Parotid region
 dense fibrous layer overlying parotid
gland
 Cheek
 thin layer invests superficial mimetic
muscles
 Lower face
 continuous with platysma

Facial Artery and Nerve
13
The most dangerous places
14
Temporal branch is most
superficial
Crosses junction of anterior
1/3 and posterior 2/3 of
zygomatic arch
Above the arch it travels in
the temporoparietal fascia
to innervate frontalis and
orbicularis oculi
15
Platysma
Origin: clavicles and 1st
rib and 5 cm below the
angle of the mandible
Insertion: blends with
the SMAS and lip
depressors
16
Techniques
Subcutaneous lift
SMAS lift
Deep-plane lift
Composite lift
Subperiosteal lift

Differences
42
Skin reduction and platysma
muscle repositioning
43
44
Deep plane rhytidectomy
45
46
47
48
Deep Plane Facelift
Skin reduction, platysma
muscle repositioning and
cheek fat repositioning
49
Composite Face Lift
50
Composite Face Lift
51
Elevates and repositions the m.orbicular, the cheek
fat and platysma muscle
MACS lift
Minimal access cranial suspension
Insicion is including skin fold of front of the ear and
following hairline
52
Suturing
First suture is going from deep temporalis fascia to
angle between the mandible and the neck.
Second suture is going from deep temporalis fascia to
cyrcle between the cheek . It is parallel with
nasolabial fold.
Third suture lift the lower eyelid and malar.

Complications
Hematoma
Skin flap necrosis
Nerve injury
Greater auricular
Frontal
Pixie ear
Hairline changes
Hypertrophic scar and widening of scar
Alopecia
Infection
