What is a Facelift?

Patients often have very different ideas about what a "facelift" entails. There are many confusing terms used on various medical websites. On top of that, many doctors promote facelifts by using their individualized terms in an effort to make their surgery seem special. All of these things leave patients perplexed. Simply put, a facelift is a surgery where the deeper fat pads of the face that cause jowling and poor neck /jawline definition are lifted, and the excess skin from the face and neck is removed. It does not include the forehead or eyes.
