A face lift, also called a rhytidectomy, can be used to improve visible signs of aging in the face and neck and it can address sagging in the mid-face, jowls and neck. In addition, facelifts address deep creases below the lower eyelids, along the nose to the corner of the mouth, excess skin and deposits of fat under the chin and jaw area, loss of muscle tone in the lower face and fat that has been displaced under the skin. Complimentary procedures are often used to more effectively target improvements in the appearance of specific parts of the neck, brow, forehead or eyelids.
