Abstract

Minimal incision rhytidectomy has the primary advantages of preserving the posterior hairline and avoiding retroauricular scars. This short-scar face lift with lateral SMASectomy and platysma resection, performed by the author on more than 500 patients in the past 3 years, provides the versatility of traditional SMAS flap undermining and the safety and rapidity of SMAS plication.
