A facelift smoothes loose skin on your face and neck, tightens underlying tissues and removes excess fat thereby correcting the visible signs of aging. Deep cheek folds, jowls, lax skin on the front and sides of your neck as well as the cord-like structures within the central neck may be successfully addressed in this fashion. Herein, attention must be given to conceal each and every incision with attention given to the aesthetics of the sideburn, ear and hairline. Traditionally, facelifts were reserved for older patients and regarded as a way to “repair” an advanced aging deformity. But today, many patients are requesting procedures to rejuvenate the face at a younger age, all with the goal of maintaining – not regaining – a youthful appearance.
