FACE LIFT

Often, it is not a skin lift that produces the most significant improvement in facial or neck appearance, but rather a refinement in the shape of the tissues under the skin that makes the most difference. For example, removing the excess fat in the lower cheeks transformed this patient's square-looking lower face to a more pleasing oval form; and modifying the shape of her subcutaneous and submuscular neck tissues gave the neck a much more appealing and youthful contour.
