title: Cervicofacial rhytidectomy: the superficial plane.
abstract: During the past 20 years, numerous techniques have been described to improve the results of facelifting as well as the duration of its rejuvenating effect. These increasingly aggressive techniques have increased the operating time, the potential morbidity of the operation, and the duration of convalescence. No one can ensure that this evolution in sophistication of rhytidectomy techniques give longer lasting results. Therefore, a simple technique applied under the appropriate indications gives good and predictable results.
