As natural result of the aging process, skin begins to lose its elasticity and sag. This creases and wrinkles. Sagging cheecks can cause jowls to develop; all these factors can make you look older than you feel. Facelift surgery effectively rejuvenates the face, smoothing out creases, lifting jowls, and creating a younger, more refreshed look.
The surgery begins with a few incisions. These are placed behind your hairline and inconspicuous areas such as behind the ears. Some skin and fat are removed and facial muscles are tightened. Facialskin is then lifted and tightened to create a smoother facial contour.

To allow for proper healing, patients will need to rest approximately two weeks following a facelift procedure. During this time, all strenuous activities should be avoided. Many patients are able to return to work after the two –week recovery period. Stitches will be removed about five days after the facelift  procedure, at which time patients will begin to notice their new, more youthful look.
