Background Subcutaneous elevation of the skin has been vital in all facelift techniques. Objectives The objective of this preliminary report was to introduce the ABC facelift as a 3-step method addressing photodamage, soft tissue laxity, and areas of bone and volume loss. Methods The procedure consists of: (A) anatomic and regenerative adipose grafting prior to skin elevation; (B) the use of a Baraf elevator for takedown of perpendicular subcutaneous fibers following hydrodissection of the skin flaps with tumescent solution; and (C) cautery dissection of the superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) and platysma in the neck.
