title: Facelifting: an initial eight year experience.
abstract: A retrospective analysis of facelifting experience during the author's initial 8 years of consultant practice is presented. 137 procedures are reviewed and the surgical technique described. 70% were SMAS-platysma lifts, 24% skin only lifts and 6% subperiosteal (mask) lifts. Particular attention was paid to complications, most common of which was haematoma requiring surgical evacuation in 3.6% of patients.
