A scarless facelift operation is the procedure of choice for facial rejuvenation. Emphasis is placed on the midfacial area to compliment the overall appearance of the face. Nasojugal folds are eliminated or improved. The cheek lift provides some augmentation in the malar area, which reduces the prominence of the nasolabial fold. Complications are minimal. The subperiosteal facelift operation is done via the lower eyelid blepharoplasty incision. Concurrent lower eyelid canthoplasty is done at the time of blepharoplasty to support the eyelid and to avoid postoperatiave ectropion.
