As we age, our facial skin loosens and wrinkles, and the muscles of the neck may weaken as well. Sun exposure, weight fluctuations and heredity are known factors that will cause the skin to age and lose elasticity.

A facelift can address these problems by firming and tightening the skin of the face and neck all in one step.

A double chin and excess skin in the neck area can be improved at the same time by a surgical procedure commonly called chin tuck.

To achieve a complete facial rejuvenation, facelifts are frequently done in conjunction with other procedures such as upper eyelid blepharoplasty (upper eyelid lift) and lower eyelid blepharoplasty (lower eyelid lift).
