Abstract:
Facial rhytidectomy is the main surgical treatment for facial rejuvenation. With the increase of People’s understanding of the facial aging mechanism and structural changes, the surgical methods are also changing. This article summarized the development of the rhytidoplasty by combining the origin, development steps and the anatomical levels involved in different surgical methods. It detailed both advantages and disadvantages of various surgery methods related to the skin and subcutaneous, superficial musculoa-poneurotis system, and subperiosteal plane, as well as the optimization plans proposed during the development process to comply with the trend of minimally invasive surgery and less postoperative complications. Improved surgical methods were proposed for specific common facial aging problems such as nasolabial folds, perioral mounds and double chins.
