title: [My current options in cervicofacial lift. Results, disappointments and development from 1980 to 1990].
abstract: Based on a series of 100 cases of cervicofacial face lift selected at random over a period of 10 years, the author describes the development of her personal technique together with the results and disappointments responsible for this development. She distinguishes 3 surgical periods. The first period (1980-1984) was characterised by very extensive subcutaneous undermining associated with reduced detachment of the facial SMAS, systematic anterior and variable posterior platysmaplasty. The second period (1984-1986) was distinguished by abandonment of the systematic submental approach, a persistent extensive subcutaneous undermining especially in the neck, more pronounced dissection of the facial SMAS and a systematic posterior platysmaplasty. The third period (1986-1990) was marked by a trend toward more limited subcutaneous undermining and more dissection-section-resection-retention of the facial and cervical SMAS and the current tendency consists of total platysmaplasty.
