Face and Neck Lift
The face is the mirror to the soul and in many ways affects the way we react to situations, as well as the way people interact with us. Over age, facial muscles slacken, making the skin around the face and neck loose and saggy, giving an unbecoming look. When you want a dramatic change to achieve a more youthful and fresh look, a face-lift, is the answer. It's the most striking way to remove or reduce the appearance of wrinkles and sagging caused by age. What nature has done can be reversed by the plastic surgeon by ‘stretching’ skin around the face and neck, giving you a younger and more confident look.
A face-lift won't stop the aging process, but it can help you achieve a firmer, fresher looking face. Some women say they look up to ten years younger after the surgery.
What can be expected?
Having a face-lift can make your face appear younger and healthier. Your face will continue to age, but a face-lift does indeed "take years off" your face. For some people, this may increase self-confidence and reduce anxiety over growing older. It's also important not to expect instant results—sometimes it can take up to six months to see the final result.

The Procedure
A face-lift is the most extensive way to remove or reduce the appearance of wrinkles and sagging of the face caused by age. The skin is literally lifted off the face so that the skin and the tissues beneath can be tightened and the skin can be repositioned smoothly over the face.
For the procedure, you are either given general anesthesia or a sedative through an intravenous line and local anesthesia to numb your skin. Next, the surgeon makes an incision that starts in the temple area and circles the ear. The skin is raised, and the muscle and tissue underneath is tightened. The surgeon may remove some fat and skin. The skin is then redraped over the face and the incision is sutured. The incision usually falls along the hairline or in a place where the skin would naturally crease so that it does not show after the surgery.
The surgery usually takes several hours..Sometimes a face-lift is combined with other cosmetic procedures such as an eyelid lift, laser facial resurfacing, forehead lift, or liposuction of the neck.
