Facelift procedures have evolved over years with many
modifications and improvements so that they do much more than lift the skin.
“Layered” procedures done today tighten the underlying layers of the face and
neck, i.e., platysma and SMAS layers so that “jowling” on the jaw line and skin
of the neck can be tightened and improved resulting in a more youthful
appearance. Mini facelifts do the same thing, but on a mini scale and work best
for patients in their 40’s looking to improve very defined issues.
