 | | The subperiosteal facelift is indicated in those who have significant ptosis of the lateral canthus, nasal glabellar soft tissues, tip of the nose, cheeks, angle of the mouth, and jowls. |
 | | Subperiosteal dissection also may be performed over the body of the mandible to reposition the soft tissue pad of the chin or to insert implants such as the mandibular matrix system. |
 | | Subperiosteal release of the tissues overlying the mandible may be performed either through an intraoral or a submental incision. |
