cervicofacial branch, providing innervation to lower face and neck muscles. The frontal and marginal mandibular nerves should be carefully avoided during rhytidectomy, as these are the most commonly injured facial nerve branches [146, 147].
Pitanguy’s line is used to estimate the course of the frontal facial n. branch, using a theoretical line drawn from 0.5 cm below the tragus to 1.5 cm above the lateral eyebrow. This branch runs deep to the temporoparietal fascia and superficial to the deep temporal fascia, and should be identified in relation to the SMAS with rhytidectomy [148]. Surgeons use Zuker’s point to locate the motor nerve branch of the zygomaticus major muscle, located at the middle point on a line from helix (ear) to oral commissure. This motor branch usually travels above the transverse facial artery, and buccal nerve branches lie underneath the vessel [149].
The great auricular nerve is at the greatest risk of damage, emerging between the mandibular angle and mastoid process before moving inferiorly along the lateral sternocleidomastoid muscle [147]. McKinney’s point is estimated at one third of the distance from the mastoid tip to the clavicular attachment of SCM, and is used to locate the great auricular nerve as it borders the posterior SCM. Caution should be taken to avoid the superficial jugular vein, located approximately 1 cm anterior to this point [149]. The marginal mandibular nerve (facial nerve branch) lies deep to the platysma muscle, and is generally found 1–2 cm below the inferior mandibular border [150].
4.2 Preoperative Patient Assessment
Rhytidectomy is indicated in patients who have excess skin laxity, deep rhytids (wrinkles), and additional changes resulting from aging (volume loss, deepening of skin folds). While the actual texture of the skin cannot be changed with this procedure, there are additional nonsurgical rejuvenation techniques [188]. This surgery is not designed to alter the overall appearance of the face or stop the aging process, although it is well utilized to create more youthful appearance of tighter skin.
Each technique has its own advantages and disadvantages, which will be discussed in detail for each individual approach. Various tissue planes can be utilized, depending on the depth and severity of rhytids and skin laxity. Different approaches are detailed in Table 4, along with their various indications [142, 151].

In general, contraindicating factors include smoking, chronic corticosteroid use, and disorders impacting wound healing capability (e.g., diabetes). All of these risk factors can increase the risk of tissue flap necrosis after facelift surgery. Blood thinners increase the risk of excessive bleeding and hematoma formation, especially with rhytidectomy. Any NSAIDS, supplements, or prescribed/OTC blood-thinning medications should be discontinued at least 2weeks prior [142]. A thorough past medical history and medication reconciliation should be obtained at the preoperative consultation to identify any contraindications or underlying psychiatric disorders. The surgeon will examine the quality, laxity, and texture of the skin, determining severity of rhytids or previous scarring. Skeletal resorption and volume loss/fat pad malpositioning will be noted as well to identify an ideal surgical approach.
Analysis of the face with emphasis on hairline shape/integrity, facial asymmetries, and contour deformities can give the surgeon a better idea of what the postoperative outcome might look like. As with many aesthetic procedures, photographs should be taken from lateral, frontal, and base views before and after the procedure [151].
Some patients benefit from integrated cervicoplasty, and the surgeon will examine the neck to assess and identify underlying structural deformities. Severity of these deformities can be classified using the Dedo scale [152] (Fig. 20).

4.3 Surgical Techniques
Rhytidectomy may be performed using general anesthesia (requiring intubation), although local anesthesia with oral or IV sedation has been indicated in the literature as a safer method of pain management. The underlying risk of complications directly related to rhytidectomy is unchanged, regardless of pain management technique. The skin is prepared with iodine and injected with tumescent anesthetic solutions to mitigate bleeding and reduce the overall amount of anesthetic used. Intravenous antibiotic and steroid therapy is indicated for most patients to reduce infection risk and resultant inflammation [154].

4.3.1 Incision Patterns
The incision location and length can vary between surgeons and is dependent on the technique which will be utilized. Traditional facelift incisions consist of the preauricular segment and postauricular segment. Preauricular incisions begin at the root of the helix and extend upward into the temporal scalp along the hairline, and postauricular incisions are made horizontally into the hair-bearing scalp to access posterior structures [155].
Preauricular incisions can be modified using a post-tragal approach (necessitates incision to the posterior margin of the tragus) or pretragal approach (incision anterior to the tragus into cutaneous cheek tissues). With male patients, a pretragal approach is frequently indicated as the repositioning of skin with flap closure places unnatural hair-bearing skin on the tragus. The preauricular incision is illustrated in Fig. 21.

Postauricularly, the incision is continued superiorly along the auricular sulcus to the level of the helical rim, then inferomedially into the hair­bearing scalp. Inferomedial continuation can help mitigate the resultant cone-like appearance after wound closure and contracture of healing tissues [155]. The S-lift incision limits the tissues which can be lifted to the midfacial region, although a postauricular scar is completely avoided with this approach [157] (Fig. 22).
Fig. 22 Short scar rhytidectomy (originally described by Passot) has been refined, due to the limited dissection planes and resultant tension. It is used in the MACS-lift when superficial tissue lifting is to be performed [158]
After the surgeon has determined which incision pattern will be used and the patient’s skin is marked, the flap can be lifted and dissected from the underlying tissues. A scalpel is used to make a beveled incision parallel to the hair follicles (avoiding disruption of hair growth) to the subcutaneous tissues. Once completed, scissors are used to carefully dissect in the

subcutaneous plane, creating a skin flap which will be repositioned [142,
151].
With SMAS facelift, the subcutaneous tissues will be dissected in the lateral face, stopping about 6 cm anterior to the tragus. Deep-plane facelift necessitates additional dissection, continuing subdermally to the mandibular-lateral canthal line and proceeding deep to the SMAS [142,
151].
4.3.2 Minimal Access Cranial Suspension (MACS) Rhytidectomy
MACS-lift is well utilized to elevate subdermal tissues, using 0­polydioxanone purse-string sutures as opposed to more invasive elevation and suspension. As an additional benefit, this procedure can be performed through short incisions along the temporal face/ear. Simple MACS-lift can correct the lower face via tightening of neck jowls and refinement of the cervicomental angle. Alternatively, an extended MACS-lift is well utilized to reduce the appearance of excess laxity at the lower eyelids, midface, and nasolabial rhytids [159].
Incisions for the simple MACS lift are less extensive compared with other techniques, beginning just anterior to the earlobe (lobule) and stopping at the lateral canthus (eye). Blunt dissection using finger separation creates a pocket just above the deep temporal fascia (superior to the facial nerve) (Fig. 23).

Purse string sutures are placed in a circular pattern, and apply circumferential tension when closed, allowing for reduction of excess tissue. A thinner loop of sutures is made along supra-parotid tissues, incorporating the superior platysma fascia and inferior temporalis fascia. Another purse string suture can be placed in a broad, oblique fashion to incorporate SMAS above jowls and temporalis fascia. This loop acts to suspend the tissues and improve mandibular definition [161].
With extended MACS-lift, a third purse-string loop brings the malar fat pad closer to deeper temporal fascia and lateral orbit, reducing the appearance of melolabial folds [144]. With both MACS-lift approaches, the vertical axis of tension differs from oblique or horizontal skin tightening used in the other facelift techniques. The preplanned suture placement is demonstrated in Fig. 24 [161].

4.3.3 SMAS Rhytidectomy
Mitz originally described the technique of SMAS rhytidectomy, and it has been used since to manipulate subcutaneous tissues, subsequently reducing laxity and deep rhytids. Augmentation of the SMAS is accomplished via plication (folding onto itself) or imbrication (removal of excess tissue). Plication involves careful removal of superficial adipose tissue from the preauricular region, requiring careful avoidance of superficial facial nerve branches. Excess SMAS tissue is then grasped and folded onto itself. The folds are secured with sutures, applying tension in both lateral and superolateral vectors for additional security [151, 158].
Imbrication utilizes an inverted L-shaped incision into the SMAS, which is made about 1 cm anterior to the ear. Careful blunt dissection below the SMAS reduces risk of damage to the protruding facial nerve when undermining the tissues. Excess tissues are removed, and the SMAS is then advanced and secured with sutures. Tension can be oriented superolaterally in the temporal region for upper facial rejuvenation. If the patient specifies jowls as their primary concern, the SMAS is advanced laterally and transposed in the postauricular region. The lateral tension with suture closure allows for tightening along the margin of the mandible [151, 158] (Figs. 25 and 26).

SMAS facelift is usually performed in conjunction with platysmal elevation and plication, as the newly augmented face should match surrounding tissues for best results. The submental skin is incised, and dissection is performed in the supraplatysmal plane to meet the previously dissected supra-SMAS pocket. The platysma will then be elevated and sutured to the surrounding muscles, allowing for lateral attachment to anterior sternocleidomastoid fibers. If necessary, the platysma is sutured to the hyoid bone for additional stability. Lastly, bilateral platysma fibers are cinched along the midline of the neck before an anchoring suture is placed into mastoid periosteum, as shown in Fig. 27 [176].
