AS OUR FACES AGE, the skin on our cheeks and jawlines may relax. Facelift surgery can rejuvenate your look, so that you look the age you feel. By lifting the tissue on your jawline and neck, the procedure gives you a youthful, refreshed appearance.

(RECOVERY TIME: SEVEN TO TEN DAYS)

The surgery removes excess fat, tightens underlying muscles and lifts the skin to a higher position on the face and neck.

Because it does not correct all wrinkles or creases, you may also opt for a brow or forehead lift, bottom, eyelid surgery, chin or cheek implants or laser resurfacing to achieve the best results.

The procedure takes three to four hours, and discomfort is minimal. Within a week, you may return to work and, if you wish, wear makeup. Incisions are usually hidden in the hairline and in the skin's natural folds. What is noticeable is your youthful new look.
