Evaluation of the facelift patient.

Facelift surgery is unique in many ways and for 100 years has stood the test of time as the most dramatic, effective, predictable, and accepted cosmetic lower facial procedure. From public misconceptions to patient confusion, a lot of information must be exchanged for successful diagnosis, recovery, and result. It requires a qualified surgeon that operates in a safe environment and knows his or her limitations. Any surgeon can make incisions and pull skin, but to truly master this procedure is a commitment.
