Face lift – Facial surgery

A face lift is the surgery that is first and foremost associated with cosmetic surgery. The purpose of a face lift is to remove excess fat, stretch muscles and tighten the skin.
As years go by the skin loses its elasticity. Gravity pulls the soft tissue under the skin down and the result is bags, folds and wrinkles. A face lift will do something about this. Such surgery will tighten loose skin in the lower part of the face – on the sides of the mouth, along the jaw line and under the chin. Sometimes the muscles are also tightened, and excess skin is removed.

A face lift will have a good effect on the right person. One does not change the character of the face, but the intention is to make the person look younger and revitalized. 13-15 % of us are considering to have this type of surgery and it is most common to do so at the age of 45 – 65, although there is no age limit. Most face lifts can keep a perfect result for 5 to 10 years.
