Facelift procedures involve an incision around the ear – typically in front of the ear, around the ear lobe and behind the ear – and dissection and suspension of facial tissues that have become saggy. To learn more about facelift incisions, click here.

Types of Facelift
None of these facelift techniques will make the patient look “plastic” or “weird” if done properly. The real key is to find a surgeon that is dedicated to facelift surgery to recommend the right procedure and then execute the procedure in the proper way.
