Minimal Incision Deep Elevation Facelift/Necklift

Introduction: The minimal incision deep elevation (MIDE) facelift/necklift approach was developed to focus on tightening the jawline and addressing neck laxity. This approach utilizes discreet periauricular and submental incisions. It is most appropriate for patients who are younger (around age 50 or younger), patients who do not require midface lifting, and patients with a history of hypertrophic or keloid scarring that would benefit from a minimal incision approach.
