Age and the daily stresses of life are often reflected in our face. As we grow older, the rounded and full faces of youth are replaced with more drawn and severe features. The skin thins out and skin folds become more prominent, particularly around the mouth and jawline.
Undergoing a facelift is a very individual and personal decision. Your goals, expectations, and concerns are very important factors in helping a plastic surgeon decide on what type and extent of surgery needs to be undertaken. Other procedures such as eyelid surgery or browlifts are sometimes combined with facelifts, and can be undertaken at the same time or later, if necessary.
Detailed information about face lifts can be obtained from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, as well as the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
