Rhytidectomy, or facelift in layman's terms, is performed to reverse the appearance of facial aging. A lift can improve volume shifts with age, reposition sagging tissues, and eliminate skin redundancy. There are limitations to what can be accomplished with a facelift alone. Commonly performed adjuncts including surgery to the eyelids or brows, liposuction, and even rhinoplasty can be combined to improve the result. Further options exist that are more commonly overlooked or rarely offered to patients but can greatly enhance the surgeon's ability to remove years from the face. This article will cover some additional options that every facial plastic surgeon should be familiar with and experienced to both describe and perform.
除皱术，通俗来讲就是面部提升术，其目的是逆转面部衰老的外观。面部提升可以改善因年龄增长而出现的组织移位，重新定位下垂的组织，并消除皮肤松弛。单纯的面部提升术所能达到的效果是有限的。常见的辅助手术包括眼睑或眉毛手术、抽脂术，甚至隆鼻术，这些手术可以结合起来以改善效果。还有一些进一步的选择，这些选择通常被忽视或很少提供给患者，但可以极大地提高外科医生消除面部岁月痕迹的能力。本文将介绍一些每个面部整形外科医生都应该熟悉并具备描述和实施经验的额外选择。
