During a rhytidectomy, or facelift procedure, the facial nerve (CN VII) should be carefully avoided. This nerve controls the muscles of facial expression, and inadvertent injury can lead to facial asymmetry and functional impairment. Surgeons typically identify and preserve the nerve branches to minimize complications and ensure optimal cosmetic results. Proper surgical technique and anatomical knowledge are crucial for protecting this nerve during the procedure.

However, if a patient experiences severe pain, they should inform the technician or physician, as adjustments can often be made to improve comfort.
