However, over time, facelift surgery evolved beyond the Dorland’s definition of “rhytidectomy” (excision of skin for the elimination of wrinkles [1]) and various different techniques and indications have been described.We report of the pre-auricular facelift approach, as described by Skoog [2] for alternative use: The excision of a giant cell tumour, utilizing this facelift technique to achieve serial excision from a two year old, male patient’s face. This has resulted in a satisfactory aesthetic outcome and scar alignment in favourable area as well as excision of a significant part of the lesion, and awaiting further serial excision for completion.展开更多
