The operative interventions for correction of the ageing face have passed through an almost centenary development. Starting from simple skin excision, then through broad skin separation, reshaping of the platysma and cutting bands from the superfascial musculo-aponeurotic layer, one reaches to the present method of subperiosteal facial correction. Mask lift allows to obtain a more radical esthetic effect, creating facilities for remodelling of individual elements of the facial skeleton as well. The technique was applied on three patients with a very good esthetic result.
