| Abstract | Acceptance of surgical treatment for rejuvenation of the aging face has increased over the past two decades. Face lift (or rhytidectomy) and blepharoplasty remain the basic procedures used in this surgery. Adjunctive procedures such as forehead lift, lipo-suction, chemical peel, chin augmentation, cheek augmentation, collagen injections, hair transplant and permanent eyeliner have been developed to enhance the results of surgery for rejuvenation of the aging face. All of this surgery can be, and usually is, accomplished using local anesthesia with intravenous sedation in an ambulatory surgical facility. |
