Also called a rhytidectomy, a face lift is a cosmetic procedure, to give a better contour to the face and make it look younger. In this surgery, the loose folds of skin around the chin, cheek and jaw line that increase due to aging are tightened for a young look.  A neck lift is a similar procedure, which removes excess sagging skin and fat deposits around the neck area to improve aesthetic appearance. These procedures may be done on their own or in conjunction with other cosmetic or cosmetology procedures such as Botox injections or fillers that given an overall look of youthfulness.
