What Is a Facelift?

As we get older, the signs of aging begin to form on our faces and cause us to look much older than we would like. Over the course of time, our skin and the underlying muscle tissue begin to lose their elasticity, causing the face to develop an aged and saggy appearance. Through a surgical procedure known as a facelift, however, you can fight back against the signs of aging.

A facelift is a surgical procedure designed to improve one’s facial appearance by lifting and tightening the underlying tissues that have loosened over time. It can help remedy a number of facial problems, such as:

• Platysmal banding
• Submental fat and skin laxity
• Excess skin along the jawline
• Deep nasolabial folds
