The traditional facelift (known also as a cervicofacial lift,) places incisions in the scalp (at the temples and back of the neck) and around the ear. The skin is undermined to widely expose the SMAS for tightening. The traditional cervicofacial lift corrects sagging tissue of the cheeks, jowls, and contours neck. Excision of skin redundancy permits considerable tightening and reduction of wrinkles. Compared to "mini" procedures, traditional facelift scars are more extensive but somewhat concealed by the scalp and shadows of the ear.
