    • Abstract:  The subperiosteal rhytidectomy: the third-generation face-lift. Ramirez OM. Division of Plastic Surgery, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD. The subperiosteal frontal rhytidectomy described by Tessier was the departure point for a new approach for facial rejuvenation. Psillakis described the subperiosteal face-lift "as an improved concept for correction of the aging face." However, this technique has a high incidence of frontal nerve injury and because of the limitations in the subperiosteal dissection, the facial soft tissues cannot be lifted reliably to the desired position. Other authors have repeated the Psillakis experience with the same frustrations and complication rate. In this report, I describe the evolution of the subperiosteal face-lift and the significant modifications that I have introduced, making this procedure safer and improving results in the degree of facial rejuvenation. My approach of subperiosteal rhytidectomy has been used in 34 patients with a minimal complication rate. This technique also addresses the rejuvenation of the central portion of the face and the restoration of tension of the facial mimetic musculature not obtained by current brow/face-lift procedures.
