A face lift is ultimately a face rejuvenation with which the appearance of the face and skin can be reset by about 10 years.
As we age, our faces show the most obvious signs of ageing. The facial skin loses elasticity and starts to droop, whilst the soft tissues (fat and muscle) hollow and the bone itself begins to resorb. The face loses its original youthful appearance, the earlobes and nose tip lengthen, and the lips become thin.
A facelift procedure aims to rejuvenate the appearance of the facial area and restore a more youthful and rejuvenated facial appearance. The procedure involves tightening both the covering skin and the underlying muscle, called the platysma, and removing surplus skin from around the ears. We commonly combine this lifting with the volumizing treatments such as fat grafting to the chin, jawline, lips, cheeks and temples.
