Rhytidectomy is the technical name for a facelift. Facelifts are performed to reduce the effects of aging by removing wrinkles that form in the skin, along with the removal of excess fat and tightening of the muscles. Facelifts are often performed along with eyelid surgery, a forehead lift, and other facial cosmetic procedures.

Uneventful endoscopic forehead lift procedure was performed with moderate skin elevation (1.5 cm) using screw fixation at two para-median incisions (Table 1). Left upper eyelid crease incision was made to remove the sub-brow dermoid cyst (Table 1). All procedures were performed under general anesthesia. Mixed topical antibiotic (tetracycline) and steroid (hydrocortisone) ointments were placed on the incision sites before putting the encircling forehead dressing (using gauze and elastic bandage) in order to prevent hematoma. Patients were instructed to take oral non-steroid anti-inflammatory medication (Ibuprofen) 3 times daily for 2 days. The dressing was then removed on the first postoperative examination.
