This article addresses several facelift challenges involving anatomic conditions, including platysma banding, endomorphic facial habitus, and midface hypoplasia. In addition, patient counseling and conveying realistic expectations about limitations of facelift alone, with and without adjunctive procedures, are presented. In addition, a few technical modifications of the facelift procedure contributing to more uniform success and longevity are discussed. PMID: 29636147 [PubMed - in process]
