Abstract
- At the time of writing this article, I have performed 300+facelifts, with the following report: 91.0% female (273 cases), 9.0% male (27 cases). Traditional facelifts with pre- and postauricular flaps were 89.2% of cases, 8.0% were traditional comprehensive facelifts with a neck lift (midline platysmaplasty), and 2.8% were short scar facelifts. The operative reports and before and after photos for these cases were reviewed to evaluate incision placement technique and design. The goal of this case series report is to convey the importance of incision placement and scar prevention in facelift surgery.
