Asian Facelift

The Asian facelift requires an adaptation of current techniques to achieve a desired aesthetic outcome. Cultural differences and differences in anthropomorphologic features alter a patient's vision of beauty and youthfulness. Rejuvenation of the aging Asian face mandates a set of strategies, including understanding cultural aspects of Asian patients, anatomy of Asian patients, and appropriate techniques based on these cultural and anatomic considerations. For stable application and results, the surgeon must understand surgical facial anatomy. If performed properly, facelifts can improve facial balance and can yield aesthetically more appealing results. The deep plane facelift technique presented is well suited for Asian patients.
