title: Endoscopic subcutaneous and SMAS facelift without preauricular scars.
abstract: Since the advent of endoscopic techniques for facial rejuvenation, we have seen an increasing number of patients asking for facial improvement who refuse a conventional full facelift. During the last 3 years, in seeking to obtain good results for this group of patients with minimally invasive techniques, we have been using a subcutaneous approach for lifting of the mid- and lower face. This subcutaneous temporofacial lift combined with SMAS suspension, which resembles our conventional approach of rhytidectomy but avoids preauricular scars, is an excellent approach for selected cases.
