As we get older, our faces start to show the effects of time. Wrinkles develop, our skin becomes less firm, and facial tissues sag. For patients bothered by signs of aging on the face and neck, a facelift may be a good option. During a facelift, sagging facial skin and muscles are tightened and excess fat is removed, restoring firmness to the face and creating a more youthful, rested appearance. Some patients choose to combine the facelift procedure with other methods of facial rejuvenation such as brow lift or blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery).
