Facelift Case Study 88

In the more youthful face face-lifting remains an option esp for those with early jowls and those lacking definition around the jaw line. Mr Ross believes that for one to be able to access the neck and the jaw sufficiently that often a full-face incision is required. Elevating the skin away from the underlying tissues allows access for the platysma muscle to be tightened directly. The repositioning of this muscle allows the jaw to be better defined and then the midface lifted higher using the SMAS tissue to give extra volume. The results are seen after all the swelling has settled showing an improvement in the jowl and jaw area.
