Abstract

The subperiosteal face-lift has benefited from significant technologic advances in medicine. The endoscope now allows extensive subperiosteal undermining of facial soft tissue through minimal access incisions. Improved understanding of facial anatomy and the facial aging process now allow repositioning and remodeling of the soft tissue envelope with excellent aesthetic results. Restoration of facial volume can be achieved with the subperiosteal technique and can be applied to the full spectrum of patients with long-lasting results. The authors describe their preferred technique for subperiosteal face-lift and discuss its indications, complications, advantages, and limitations.
