Abstract
Background:
The modified Blair incision is the most utilized incision for parotidectomy. The facelift incision is a well described, but underutilized approach to parotidectomy.
Objective:
To demonstrate the exposure afforded by the facelift incision for parotidectomy and the excellent postoperative appearance.
Materials and Methods:
This approach was applied to 12 parotidectomies in 11 patients between January 2022 and December 2022.
Result:
There was one case of temporary marginal mandibular nerve weakness. There were no cases of permanent nerve weakness. Patient satisfaction was particularly high in young patients.
Conclusion:
This video demonstrates the exposure afforded by the rhytidectomy approach to the parotid gland.
