The face-lift operation.
The five sequential steps of the technique described (1) hair immobilization with surgical lubricant; (2) conversion of the cheek flap into a bilobed flap: (3) use of active, concurrent, and postoperative aspiration; (4) creation of a long, defatted tragal flap; and (5) accurate placement of the flap by precisely placed fixation sutures, facilitated uniformly good results with a substantial reduction in operating time and minimizes most of the hazards attendant upon the face-lift operation.
