Face lift As people age, the effects of gravity, exposure to the sun, and the stresses of daily life can be seen in their faces. Deep creases form between the nose and mouth; the jawline grows slack and jowly; folds and fat deposits appear around the neck. A facelift (technically known as rhytidectomy) is the surgical procedure through which we relocate and suspend flaccid soft facial tissues, descended or dropping due to the effects of aging and gravity, from the facial stable structures. Facial aging is a normal process involving not only the facial skin, but also the rest of the structures such as subcutaneous fat, muscles, and the bones of the facial skeleton. We can not stop this aging process. What it can do is "set back the clock", improving the most visible signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and redraping the skin of your face and neck. A facelift can be done alone, or in conjunction with other complementary procedures to achieve durable satisfactory results such as a forehead lift, eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping ,as well as not surgical treatments on skin with secuelae of the effects of sulight and aging, like Botox or chemical peels,
