Face Lift

A face lift is a plastic surgery procedure that can remove excess fat, tighten muscles, and redrape the skin of the face, resulting in a more youthful appearance. Surgeons today are able to achieve incredible results with minimal scarring and in such circumstances, a face lift, also called a rhytidectomy, can dramatically smooth the skin and make the patient look years younger

Wrinkles indicate age, and particularly for women, are seen as problematic for beauty and worth eliminating, if possible. While other procedures can smooth surface wrinkles, only a face lift can tighten sagging facial skin, jowls, double chins, and loose skin. A facelift reshapes the lower one-third of the face, while eyelid surgery and a brow lift address the eyes and forehead. An isolated neck lift may be performed in some patients where most of the changes are below the chin and in the neck area. Choosing the right type of face lift surgery depends on more than just your wallet.

Mini Facelift – usually advised for younger clients who need only a little correction along the jaw line or cheek or for clients who have had a standard facelift but now their skin needs to be tightened again due to the sagginess. There are as many variations of this type of Facelift as there are surgeons who perform them including the S-Facelift, C-Facelift, Mini Lift, Lifestyle Lift and others too numerous to mention.

At present both men and women (usually aged 40 or older) are having face lifts in record numbers.

While such procedures will improve appearances, it's important for people considering a face lift to have realistic expectations about the surgery, what's involved, the recovery process, and how they will look afterward. Then he or she can define what to correct, how much to correct and how it will all work together to make you look 10 or more years younger, without appearing like you've had face lift surgery.
