Operative technique, adjunctive procedures, operative time, and major (unplanned admission, reoperation, and persistent motor nerve injury) and minor (outpatient-managed) complications were analyzed.

Complication rates did not differ. The mean interval between primary and secondary facelifts was 10.7 \u00b1 4.9 years.
