This is a comprehensive lecture that will get you ready for your upcoming procedure. If you are also having a laser as part of your rejuvenation there is a different video that you should watch (Facelift and Laser). Please be sure to watch this in it's entirety before your pre-op appointment, and you can watch it again as often as you need both before and after surgery.
Facelift anatomy
The face is built in layers: skin, fat, a layer of fibrous tissue and flat facial muscles that surgeons call the SMAS, a deep fascia, and the facial nerve branches beneath it. Facelift techniques differ in which layer the surgeon lifts, which ligaments are released and how close the work runs to the nerve.
New research on facelift technique, general
Recent studies on the subject of the video, each with a plain summary where one is written.
