Face Lift – The Three Most Common Face Lift Methods

1. Subcutaneous Face Lift. The skin is undermined to an appropriate level determined during the physical exam. The skin is then advanced laterally and slightly upward to put it back where it was during youth. This effectively tightens the skin and smoothes out the facial contour. Care is taken to put all the skin tension above and behind the ear so that there is minimal tension in front of the ear itself. This avoids an operated look.
