Abstract

Facelift incision is used to cosmetically remove furrows and exess facial skin. In 1967, Appiani suggested facelift use in parotid gland surgery. In Japan, most parotid tumor surgery involves S-shaped incisions leaving visible scars. We used facelift incisions in 21 cases from January 1, 2007, to December 31, 2008, comparing surgery duration, tumor size, and complications. We found the facelift incision to be safe and to provide good cosmetic results.
