The 10-7 Facial Analysis Method for Face Lifting and Facial Rejuvenation.

Abstract

Proper facial analysis is the first step toward delivering an excellent result in any face lifting or facial rejuvenating operation or procedure. Every case should be approached in a systematic and comprehensive manner, ensuring proper assessment of specific anatomic regions contributing to facial aging as well as the global facial aesthetic. Failure to do so may result in an unnatural or partially rejuvenated face. The senior author's (R.J.R.) approach entails 10 key anatomic regions on the frontal view and 7 on the lateral view. The 10-7 facial analysis method allows the surgeon to reliably assess every patient in a detailed, top-down, structural approach when considering face lifting or facial rejuvenation.
