The extended subperiosteal coronal lift is a new technique of facial rejuvenation. It appears to offer improved correction of sagging of the mid and upper face. Combined with traditional lower lifting, it affords a more balanced rejuvenation. The author describes his technique and discusses results, advantages, and complications based on an experience of over 100 patients who underwent extended coronal lifts, either alone or in combination with traditional lower facelift surgery.
