Tumescent Face Lift - Part 1. A surgery video by Louis Bucky, MD from the 49th Annual Baker Gordon Symposium on Cosmetic Surgery.

This video demonstrates highlights of facelift surgery including the use of tumescent infiltration, 500-700ccs of the face and neck, lipo-dissection (tunneling) of the neck for wide-undermining, and perforator preservation. The extended SMAS elevation typically avoids the need and is counterproductive to platysma plication. Finally, moderate volume fat grafting is critical for volume restoration and facial shaping. These procedures facilitate one another for an effective and efficient facelift.
