In a face-lift, how close do you get to the trigeminal nerves? How often have you injured one? Is there a patient site available that can disclose these accidents so that we can better choose our surgeons?

Answer: Risk of motor or sensory nerve injuries during a facelift surgery Trigeminal nerve injury would not be a concern for facelift surgery as these nerves are not at risk during the dissection. Injury to the greater auricular nerve and the marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve are the most at risk, so it's important to seek out an experienced surgeon with a mastery of the anatomy to avoid complications and to ensure the optimal result.

Answer: Trigeminal nerve accidental nicks The trigeminal nerve is nowhere close to the incisions or the surgical procedure so there are no issues related to that nerve when performing a facelift procedure
