What is a Face Lift?
A face lift addresses aging concerns in the lower two-thirds of the face, including:
-
Sagging Skin: Lifting and tightening loose facial skin.
-
Deep Nasolabial Folds: Reducing deep creases between the nose and mouth.
-
Jowls: Improving the jawline by correcting sagging skin.
-
Facial Volume Loss: Combining facelift surgery with fat grafting can restore youthful fullness to areas that commonly lose volume as we age.
The procedure results in a refreshed and youthful facial appearance.
