Intraoperative photographs and measurements were taken of the skin, superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS), and platysmal suture suspension with mastoid crevasse inset. Measurements were compared between patients who were undergoing primary vs secondary surgery, site of lift, age, and gender.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Seventy-one patients (90% female, mean age 57.8) with a total of 142 hemifaces were analyzed, 57 (73%) of which were primary and 14 (27%) secondary facelifts. The average vector of SMAS lifting was 70.8\u00b0. Females had a more vertical vector than males (71.3\u00b0 vs 65.4\u00b0; P &amp;lt; .01). The average vectors of platysmal and skin lift were 87.0\u00b0 and 58.2\u00b0, respectively. There was intrapatient difference between hemifaces. Despite there being more intersuture disparity in secondary cases than primary cases (16.9\u00b0 vs 4.5\u00b0; P &amp;lt; .05), the mean vector of lifting was similar between them.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Proper release of the deep plane helps determine the appropriate vectors of lift, without relying on guidelines based on population averages.
