Facelift Procedure
A conventional facelift requires the surgeon to make
an incision from the patients hairline near the
temple, in front of the ear, under the ear, and
following the hairline toward the back of the head.
Some operations may involve another incision under
the chin to tighten and smooth a patients neck.
Unwanted fat, skin, and other tissues are excised,
and sutures may be used to tighten deeper layers of
tissue. The surgeon then repositions the remaining
skin in the desired location and closes the incisions
with sutures and staples.
