Abstract:
Revitalization of the aging face is a complex process that must include several components all working together in harmony to create a natural, youthful appearance. As more details of the facial anatomy have been described, the facelift operation has expanded tremendously to include deeper layers of the face with a goal of achieving both a longer lasting effect from surgery and a more complete recontouring effect of the melolabial fold. A comprehensive understanding of the anatomy of the face and the different procedures available is necessary in order to perform facelift surgery effectively and safely.
