[Rhytidoplasty: perioperative guidelines. Particular technical basic details].
The authors present their philosophy of rhytidoplasty and the basic technical details of this kind of operation. The aging face often causes psychological as well as social problems that make patients go to a facial plastic surgeon. The authors stress the importance of an intensive preoperative information. Basic details of preoperative preparation, surgical technique and postoperative care are emphasised because they represent decisive steps in terms of the aesthetic results obtained. These details proved to be mostly important in the course of about 5000 rhytidoplasties.
