As people age, the effects of gravity, exposure to the sun, and stresses of daily life can be seen in their faces. Deep creases form between the nose and mouth, the jawline grows slack and jowly, folds and fat deposits appear around the neck.
A facelift (technically known as rhytidectomy) can't stop the aging process. What it can do is set the clock back, improving the most visible signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and redraping the skin of your face and neck.
A facelift can be done alone, or with other procedures such as a forehead lift, eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping.

Please ask your surgeon about anything you don't understand.The best candidate for a facelift is a man or woman whose face and neck have begun to sag, but whose skin still has some elasticity and whose bone structure is strong and well-defined. Most patients are in their forties to sixties, but facelifts can be done successfully on people in their seventies or eighties as well.Body lift is surgical contouring of arms, thighs, abdomen and breast. It's procedure designed for those who have lost a lot of weight and are left with saggy, excessive and unsightly skin. Certain procedures may be covered by health insurance.
