Facelift/Masklift
What It Is:
A Facelift is a surgical procedure that improves sagging facial skin, jowls and sagging neck skin. The Masklift raises the entire face, including the brow, cheeks, eyelids and the corners of the mouth. Both are done in an operating room under general anesthesia.

The surgeon removes excess fat, tightens muscles and redrapes the skin, often securing it under the hairline or behind the ears. Recovery time is 10-14 days.
