ABSTRACT
To overcome the facial aging, various facial rejuvenation techniques have been presented but each of them has some shortcomings respectively. Extended SMAS technique is not easy to apply and has high risk of facial nerve injury. Moreover, Orientals have some anatomical characteristics different from Caucasians; thicker facial skin, more conspicuous postoperative scar and less cervical deformity such as gobbler neck deformity. Considering these facts, we performed minimal incision rhytidectomy with lateral SMASectomy in 25 patients with aging faces. Based on our experiences, this technique is considered as an easy and quick method with minimal postoperative scar and no risk of facial nerve injury. And lateral SMASectomy is excellent for the correction of deep nasolabial fold, jowl and saggy jaw line. As a result, minimal incision rhytidectomy with lateral SMASectomy is suitable and recommendable facial rejuvenation for Koreans.
