Different types of facelifts

As part of the ageing process, facial skin begins to lose its tightness due to diminished collagen and elastin production. An associated loss of soft-tissue volume results in sunken cheeks and hollowing of the eyes and temples. In the lower part of the face, jowls begin to develop along the jawline, by wrinkling and Sagging Jowls of the facial skin. These are all recognised features of the natural ageing process, and a lower is highly effective in producing anti-ageing effects that can last several years.

Lower facelift vs mini facelift

A lower facelift involves making an incision that begins in front of the ear and curves around the lower ear into the hairline behind the ear.

The mini facelift procedure most commonly involves making a shorter incision in front of the ear and extending it upward into the temporal region. A mini facelift does not include a scar curving around the lower part of the ear. The less nature of a mini facelift means significant improvement can be achieved primarily for the middle part of the face.
