The Extended Indication of Parotidectomy Using the Modified Facelift Incision in Benign Lesions: Retrospective Analysis of a Single Institution

Abstract

The modified facelift incision is feasible for most benign parotid lesions regardless of tumor location, even for anterior or superior tumors. Using the modified facelift incision may be extended with a surgeon's accumulated experience, but for a large deep-lobe tumor, the modified Blair incision is still considered useful.
