Beginning with an overview of anatomy and physiology of the aging face and neck, the next chapter discusses preoperative evaluation and analysis.
The following sections cover different facelift techniques dependent on patient requirements and ultimate goals for the surgery.
The book concludes with discussion on potential complications and their management, and skincare rejuvenation.
