Abstract
Facial antiaging surgery is widely regarded as safe and effective. Current techniques
allow us to achieve a balance of restoring youth while minimizing stigmata of surgery
to effect a refreshed, natural look. An important component of achieving this goal
is to improve the appearance of fine lines and dyschromias which continue to add to
the apparent age. Several options exist to improve the appearance of the skin, each
with a separate set of indications, advantages, and disadvantages. A medium-depth
35% trichloroacetic acid peel can be safely combined with rejuvenating surgery to
enhance patient satisfaction and results with the same downtime and low cost.
