The Face Lift: An Algorithm for Producing Consistently Superior Results
1From the Sundine Center for Plastic Surgery.
Summary:
The face and neck lift is among the most commonly performed cosmetic surgical procedures, and multiple variations have been proposed to produce optimal outcomes. Rather than presenting a specific recipe for facial rejuvenation, the author proposes an algorithmic approach that can be tailored to each patient's needs. The author prefers a high-superficial musculoaponeurotic system procedure, which has demonstrated longevity and the ability to comprehensively improve results. To the author's knowledge, this is the first algorithm for the treatment of facial aging to provide a decision tree for optimizing patient outcomes.
