The face is usually the first part of the body\nto show signs of aging. Gravity and a loss of volume cause skin to sag and\nwrinkles to form. While there is no way to prevent aging, a face lift procedure\ncan smooth your skin, tighten tissues and muscle, and remove excess skin and\nfat. This should help you look and feel younger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The best candidates for facelift surgery\ndisplay signs of facial aging, but their skin maintains some elasticity. They\nare usually in their 40s through 70s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before undergoing a facelift, you\u2019ll need to\nschedule a consultation with a surgeon. You should be healthy and have\nrealistic goals for your procedure. Your surgeon will give you a physical exam\nand thoroughly discuss your medical history before making a recommendation\nbased on your expectations and overall health. In some cases, a more minor\nprocedure may be enough to satisfy your goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The aim of a facelift is to improve problem\nareas such as sagging skin, creases below the eyelids and along the nose and\nmouth, loose skin and fatty deposits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A mini facelift is less invasive than a traditional facelift. This procedure allows your surgeon to tighten deep facial tissues through shorter incisions, typically located along the hairline above each ear and\/or in the natural creases surrounding the ear. This procedure is ideal for patients who have less excess skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you would expect, a mini facelift is less\nexpensive and the recovery time is shorter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
