A Surgical Procedure!
The facelift is a popular procedure, aimed at helping people look (and feel) younger. Today, people in their 30s, 40s and 50s are getting face lifts.

A facelift involves removing sagging skin - as well as tightening facial muscles and removing excess fat -- in the lower face. A facelift can improve the contour of your lower jaw and jowls. It can soften any deep lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth. Some people opt to have a brow lift, too, to rejuvenate the upper half of the face. A neck lift can correct sagging muscles that often form bands as we age. These may be done during the facelift procedure or separately.

The Procedure:
There are multiple techniques that can be done for facelift, technology has made it possible to minimise pain and length of surgery.
During the classic facelift procedure, the incisions are made in front, behind, and above the ear and into the scalp line. This allows the surgeon to access muscle and connective tissue beneath the skin to make the appropriate manipulations. Facelifts can take from two to six hours. Your Plastic Surgeon will close the incision site with sutures and your face will be bandaged. Most patients can go home a few hours after the facelift procedure. Some will need to be hospitalized overnight.

Recovery:
You should begin to feel better a few days after surgery. However, you may not feel like going out in public. Most people can return to work in two weeks. You must avoid sun exposure for several months.
