When your face is firm and fresh, you not only look younger – you also feel more confident and energetic. Hereditary traits, stress, worries and too much sun exposure may have damaged your facial tissues and created a worn, sagging look. A facelift, however, can restore a firmer, smoother, and revitalized appearance.

Facelift: Patients request facelifts because they feel their facial features do not show their youthful spirit and energy. The face usually shows signs of aging visibly first and aging face is one of the most difficult changes for both sexes. Therefore many women and men desire a facelift to refresh and revitalize their appearance. Facelift procedure smoothens the skin of the face and neck, tightens the underlying tissues and muscle, and removes extra skin. These days the number of surgeries for both women and men are very close, almost the same for  both sexes.
