Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Cosmetic Surgery
  • Facial Rejuvenation

Background:

  • Rhytidectomy (facelift) acceptance is rising in society, extending beyond the affluent.
  • Middle-class individuals increasingly invest in facelifts for a natural, youthful appearance.
  • Despite economic challenges, demand for facelifts persists due to the desire for a refreshed look with minimal downtime.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive summary of rhytidectomy.
  • To review the history, anatomy, and current techniques in facelift surgery.
  • To emphasize safety principles and complication avoidance in rhytidectomy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on rhytidectomy techniques.
  • Discussion of relevant facial anatomy for surgical planning.
