What Is a Facelift?
In the simplest terms, a traditional facelift is the surgical tightening of the middle and lower parts of the face. These parts include the area between the lower part of the cheeks and the chin, as well as the neck.
In facelift operations, the skin is pulled towards the scalp and in front of the ear and the excess tissues are cut off. If necessary, excess fat is also removed. Facelift operations remove wrinkles in the cheeks and tighten the skin around the jaw and neck.
What is a Necklift?
Necklifts tighten and improve the sagging neck muscles; and improve the overall appearance of the area.
During this procedure, excess fat under the jaw is also removed and repositioned. Therefore, it is very important to perform neck lift surgery correctly. Otherwise, if the neck strap is too tight or lifted excessively, it may make your neck feel uncomfortable or appear asymmetical when compared to your face.
