Abstract
This article studies the changes produced with age in the different fa cial tissues, analyzes how these tissues can be affected by surgical m anipulation, and sets out certain principles that should be kept in mi nd during facial rejuvenation surgery. Surgeons are alerted to the pos sibility of causing iatrogenia, in the sense of interfering with norma l facial expression and accelerating the normal aging process. We pres ent two techniques that use these principles.
