Abstract

Introduction: The modified small-incision face-lift is a safe, effective, minimally invasive way to treat facial rhytidosis in carefully selected patients. The purpose of this study is to describe a modified small-incision face-lift technique. Materials and Methods: Institutional review board– approved retrospective case series. Results: Twenty-six patients underwent a modified small-incision face-lift. The average age of the patients was 62.1 years. Two patients developed hypertrophic scarring requiring surgical revision. There were no other complications, including infection, wound dehiscence, or flap necrosis. Patient satisfaction with the procedure was high. Conclusions: The modified short-scar face-lift is a safe and effective procedure that can be done in the office with or without sedation and requires less recovery time than traditional face-lift techniques.
