A facelift is surgery that can be done in different ways, depending on the patient’s condition and expectations. Its main aims are to rejuvenate the face, repair the facial skin and tighten the underlying tissues and muscles that have changed with age.
A facelift does not stop ageing, but it is an effective way to rejuvenate the face. How much younger you look depends on a proper treatment plan and the surgeon’s experience.
A facelift works on the lower two-thirds of the face. The main focus is usually the cheeks, the area around the lips and the neck, which are especially prone to the effects of ageing.
A mid-face lift, also called a cheek lift, treats the upper cheeks and lower eyelids. It suits people who want lifted cheeks and fewer age lines.
A full face lift covers the area from the lower eyelids down to the neck and can make clearly visible changes. It can reduce a ‘turkey neck’ look, flatten the cheeks and reduce major wrinkles.
