What is a face lift?
Face Lift is a surgical procedure that helps to tighten and rejuvenate the face, making it look firm and wrinkle-free. This is done by cutting away excess skin that is sagging, such as the forehead, the corners of the eyes, the cheeks, the corners of the mouth, or the neck. With experienced doctors and modern techniques, the face looks natural, recovers quickly, and the results last a long time.
Which part of the facelift solves which problem?
Facelift surgery can comprehensively address sagging skin in various areas of the face, allowing for a variety of specific solutions, such as:
Forehead Lift
It can help solve the problem of patients with wrinkles on the forehead, low eyebrows, or drooping eyes that obstruct vision.
Upper Facelift
It can help reduce the problem of sagging cheekbones, crow's feet, or wrinkles in various areas, making the skin look firmer and tighter.
Lower Facelift
It can help solve the problem of deep nasolabial folds and marionette lines, making them appear firmer, smoother, or more V-shaped.
Neck Lift
It can help solve the problem of sagging, reduce double chin in the neck area, and make it fit the proportions of the face, making you look younger.
Hidden location of facelift incision
For the location of the facelift incision, there will be different points depending on the area where the surgery is performed. There are 3 methods of hiding the incision as follows:

Avoid activities that affect the nose, such as exercise, running, blowing your nose, or swimming, for 8 weeks.
