[The MASK lift]

Abstract

The MASK lift or subperiosteal lift of the upper and middle thirds of the face is a procedure that can be performed alone for aesthetic purposes, but can also be combined with reconstructive surgery of this region to improve the result. This procedure will enable the overall result to be enhanced in the management of complex pathologies. The aim of this article is to present the MASK lift surgical technique in detail, to explain its indications and to show that this surgical technique still has a place in our practice.
