title: [Hydrodissection as an alternative method in esthetic facial surgery. Technical contribution].
abstract: Conventional techniques in facial esthetic surgery are based on skin and flap elevation by sharp surgical dissection. The hydrodissection technique of local anesthetic administration facilitates creation of an atraumatic field for subcutaneous flap preparation. Its application in face- and necklifting procedures is described.
