Abstract

The presenter will discuss the evolution of his facelift practice. Fit the operation to the patient is the basic premise. The concept of dealing with the deep layered support will be discussed and representative results will be shown. Unsatisfactory results and complications will be addressed. Helpful techniques learned from performing almost 5000 facelifts will be shown. Learning Objectives: The presenter will review facial rejuvenation techniques as they have evolved over the past 40 years. Participants will be able to evaluate scar placement, compare the various techniques to fit the operation to the patient and understand the management of complications.

All rights reserved Abstract PURPOSE: In aesthetic surgery, the assessment of patient-reported outcomes (PRO) is especially pertinent to clinicians as patient satisfaction and quality of life are the predominant considerations determining success. In order to measure the impact of these procedures, well-developed and validated questionnaires are needed. The purpose of this study was to develop a new PRO measure to evaluate patient satisfaction and quality of life following facial cosmetic procedures. The main scale: ‘Satisfaction with face overall’ will be presented.
