    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Outpatient Procedures

    Background:

    • Face lift (rhytidectomy) is a common cosmetic surgical procedure.
    • Traditionally performed in inpatient settings, concerns exist regarding outpatient safety.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and outcomes of face lifts performed in an office operating room.
    • To compare complication rates and patient satisfaction with traditional inpatient procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 100 consecutive face lift (rhytidectomy) procedures.
    • Procedures conducted in a well-equipped office operating room.
    • Application of strict preoperative patient selection criteria.

    Main Results:

    • Low complication rate observed in the outpatient setting.
    • Complication rates favorably compare with reported inpatient series.
    • High levels of patient satisfaction reported.

    Conclusions:

    • Face lifts can be safely performed in an office operating room for carefully screened patients.
    • Outpatient face lifts offer a safe alternative with favorable outcomes.
    • This setting can lead to increased patient satisfaction.
