The operation consists of removing excess skin and fatty tissue and correcting the sagging of specific facial muscles. Plastic surgeons have been performing this type of surgery for many years. Recent advances in surgical technique have led to significantly improved and longer-lasting results. The classic face-lift is aimed at rejuvenation the face in the areas of the temples, cheeks and neck. Lifting of the forehead and eyebrows may also be done at the same time, as well as eyelid surgery.
Many factors play a role in the aging of facial skin.
There is no ideal age for this type of surgery. It must also be remembered that a face-lift cannot remove all facial wrinkles. These are lines which have appeared due to the constant action of the facial muscles over the years. It is normal that lines of facial expression remain after surgery. Injecting botulinic toxin can help smooth them out.
