Abstract
The Skoog SMAS ihytidectomy has generally been accepted since its introduction as being superior to conventional rhytidectomy. A study is presented comparing major complications and “redo” modalities to determine if one or the other precedure is superior. The study revealed that the Skoog rhytidectomy yields fewer major hematomas but that there is a greater need for “redos” within the first year for unsatisfactory results, as well as a significantly larger number of facial nerve injuries.Keywords
