The growing importance of the face lift and related procedures to improve the aging face and the increasing demand by both men and women for these procedures is largely due to the prolonged good health, active life, and extended working years of many people. The technic described emphasizes support of the facial tissues upward and backward, leaving the resulting scars in the least obvious locations. Illustrative cases show improvement in appearance by upper and lower blepharoplasty and by the temple, cheek, and neck lift. The importance of a "segmental approach" is mentioned and other accessory procedures which may contribute further to improvement of the aging face are described, including rhinoplasty, mentoplasty, surgical abrasion, and chemical peel.
面部提升及相关手术对于改善面部衰老的重要性日益凸显，男性和女性对这些手术的需求不断增加，这在很大程度上归因于许多人长期保持良好健康状态、积极的生活方式以及延长的工作年限。所描述的技术强调将面部组织向上和向后支撑，使产生的疤痕位于最不明显的位置。示例病例显示，上睑和下睑成形术以及颞部、面颊和颈部提升术可改善外观。文中提到了“分段方法”的重要性，并描述了其他可能进一步有助于改善面部衰老的辅助手术，包括隆鼻术、颏成形术、手术磨削术和化学剥脱术。
