Aesthetic Surgery of the Aging Face and Neck

  • Chapter
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

Part of the book series: Springer Specialist Surgery Series ((SPECIALIST))

Summary

Although procedures for the correction of facial aging in the 1980s–1990s emphasized sub-SMAS approaches and operations of increasing complexity, more recently, minimally invasive techniques are gaining increasing popularity. This chapter reviews the concepts behind these approaches, describes procedures to correct areas recalcitrant to facelift correction, and offers minimally invasive options or lesser procedures that can be used to correct various aspects of facial aging when more involved procedures are not a viable option.
