Subperiosteal midface lifting: a simplified approach.

A simplified approach to subperiosteal midface lifting with suspension is described, which has been performed on 75 patients since 1986. In comparison with standard facelifting, this technique results in long-lasting vertical resuspension of ptotic midfacial tissues. To date there has been a high rate of patient satisfaction with no cases of nerve injury or hematoma. There is a rare incidence of minor complications.
