title: [Mask lift and facial aesthetic sculpturing].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To improve the outcome of the face-lift with a craniofacial contouring procedure.
  
  
  METHODS
  Thirty-seven patients aged 29-53 years (31 in female, 6 in male) were treated through a bicoronal incision. The facial tissue was lifted through a subperiosteal procedure and the facial skeleton was remodeled in three dimensions by osteotomies.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The results were satisfactory after the 3-12 months of the follow-ups.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The Face-lift combined with the facial aesthetic sculpturing may be more effective for the aging-face rejuvenating.
