Perioperative Management of the Facelift Patient

Katherine B Santosa et al. Clin Plast Surg. 2019 Oct.

Abstract

In this article, the authors set out to lay a foundation for successful perioperative management of the facelift patient. They describe the changes of normal facial aging in an attempt to help one recognize the universal way the face is affected by aging. Having a clear understanding of these factors may help to guide the physician with procedures necessary to offer the patient for a desired outcome. Also, the authors emphasize the preoperative assessment and postoperative care necessary to ensure a successful, low-risk operation with minimal downtime and beautiful results, meeting the patient's expectations.
