Facial Rejuvenation Procedures Can Be Performed in Conjunction

Facelifts can be performed alone, or with other cosmetic procedures such as eyelid or forehead surgery. Most are done under twilight anesthesia in an outpatient setting. Depending on the area to be treated, facelifts usually involve incisions made along the hairline, which extend around the ears to the lower scalp. The skin is lifted away from the fat and muscle underneath. The muscle and supporting structures of the face are tightened by the doctor, and excess skin and fat are removed.
