A lower facelift is used to rejuvenate the lower third of your face by tightening its underlying structures, which may be sagging due to your skin’s natural aging process and forming fleshy necks and jowls. In this procedure, excess skin is trimmed and facial creases are eliminated.
Reasons for the Procedure
The surgery aims to eliminate jowls and deep wrinkles, raise your mouth’s corners, and get rid of sagging skin along your jaw line and on your neck. This is performed in the event that only the lower part of your face requires improvement. In a full facelift, this treatment is combined with a mid facelift and a brow or forehead lift). Oftentimes, doctors decide that a full facelift isn’t needed since only some parts of the face are showing elements that need to be fixed.

For you to be a qualified patient for this procedure, you must be in good health and your skin must have good enough elasticity, even if aging signs appear on the lower part of the face. You’ll have to discuss with cosmetic specialist about your facial cosmetic problems to properly understand everything that needs to be done to address your concern.
Incisions
A lower facelift will usually need one small incision starting at the front of your ear and ending behind it. There is also the possibility of using the newer endoscopic lower facelift technique, where some incisions are made so that an endoscope can be inserted through them. The instrument gives a visual guide for the doctor, making the surgery more accurate.
If a neck lift has to be done together with this procedure, an extra incision has to be done under your chin. Tissue will be separated from your skin and all the extra fat in this area will be removed. Facial muscles will be tightened and adjusted to the right position. In most procedures for the lower part of the face, this is done since aging also causes your muscles to shift away from their original place. All the incisions will be closed by sutures.
Other Reminders
All facelifts in the past were done by simply tightening your skin. Muscle laxity was ignored and the result was a very unnatural look. Today, facelift techniques are much better – involving a more careful tightening of the skin and all the structures underlying your neck and jaw line. Facial liposuction is sometimes needed, too, to totally restore your skin’s smoothness and youthfulness.
The surgeon will choose the best technique or techniques based on his analysis of your facial structure, skin, and concerns. Be sure you consult someone who’s experienced in this procedure.
