Ever wondered what constitutes a facelift? Why are there different types of facelifts? This article addresses different types of facelifts and some of the basic problems they address.
Facelift refers to a facial rejuvenation procedure which aims to reverse the signs of aging. There are many techniques for face-lifts from minimally invasive procedures which can be performed on awake patients in the office to extensive facelifts which require more anesthesia. The more extensive the facelift, the longer the expected results and the greater the improvement in appearance. The tradeoff is that more extensive facelifts will incur a greater cost and longer recovery time.
