title: Indications for and treatment of frontal and glabellar wrinkles in an analysis of 3,404 consecutive cases of rhytidectomy.
abstract: In recent years, there has been an increase in the percentage of forehead lifts in patients undergoing face lift surgery on our service. Also we find that younger patients are having the surgery. We describe our present technique and choices of incisions. We avoid incisions anterior to the hairline whenever possible, since they may produce conspicuous scars. Our treatment of the aponeurotic expansion by vertical and horizontal incisions has produced very satisfying results (Figs. 11 through 15). No postoperative complications are reported in our series.
