The story
Do your cheeks and jawline sag more than your mirror says they should?
Sagging cheeks, a softened jawline and deep folds at the nose and mouth often appear together. Many people feel that non-surgical lifting has not been enough to change this.
A facelift lifts both the skin and the deeper SMAS layer through an incision in front of or inside the ear, where the scar is hidden. Because the deeper layer is lifted, the result is stronger and lasts longer than non-surgical options.
Surgery takes about 2–3 hours under sleep or general anesthesia. Stitches are removed 7–10 days after surgery, and most people return to routines in 10–14 days.
