Folds appear around the neck and the skin hangs.
An incision is made in the hair area of the temple extending in front of and behind the ear. The skin is lifted off the face and neck, the deeper muscles are tightened, and the skin redraped to a higher position. This gives a more youthful appearance to the face. In some people the excess skin of the upper eyelids can even interfere with vision. Usually an incision is made behind the hairline, the skin and muscle are elevated and redraped in a higher position.
