Facial skin sags during the ages of 50s, due to the skin’s loss of elasticity, lessening of fat tissue with ageing, and gravity. Classic face-lift operation is the firming of face and neck skin by an incision that starts in front of the ear, passes through earlobe, turning back and going up, and ends inside the hairy skin. Face-lift operation is always performed together with neck lift. In the case when sagging around the jowl and separation of muscles on the middle of the neck are apparent, these muscles are strengthened by making a small incision on the part below the chin. This operation is especially successful with people who have clearly visible sagging around the neck and the chin and thin skins in which sagging and wrinkling on the skin are apparent instead of deep tissues. Classic face-lift operation does not fix sagging and wrinkles around the eyes, the mouth, and the middle of the face.
For a more superior and proportionate appearance, mid-face lifting, eyelid operations, Botulinum toksin, and dermabrasion can be performed within the same session.
