Facelift

A range of surgical procedures to tighten the lower face. A facelift may or may not address the neck as well. Some surgeons separate these two areas or omit the neck procedure altogether. However, the additional work needed to address the neck cord and skin laxity at the time of lower facelift compared to what is required to tighten the neck after a lower facelift is not so great. Therefore, it is highly worthwhile to have the neck done at the time of the lower face. Conversely, if the neck does not need to be tightened, then it is improbable that the lower facelift is really necessary.
