A face lift is an invasive cosmetic procedure performed by a plastic surgeon. The ultimate goal is a more youthful appearance. Developments in plastic surgery have yielded a variety of face lift techniques. All face lift techniques get rid of excess skin and tighten facial skin tissue. Most patients undergo face lift surgery as a solution to sagging in the facial area, typically of the jowl, neck and chin. Below are descriptions of the most popular and widely performed face lift techniques.
The Traditional Face Lift
The traditional face lift technique is highly invasive, complicated and costly, but produces dramatic effects. It is often chosen by face lift patients of the oldest age range. An incision is made at the temple, hidden in the hairline, and extends around the ear, ending back at the hairline. Sagging facial and neck muscles are tightened, and extra skin is excised. Fluid is drained from behind the ear, and then the skin is sutured. If the face lift is performed in conjunction with a neck lift, the incision is instead made under the chin. The traditional technique aims to yield smoother, tighter, younger-looking skin.
The Mini Face Lift
The mini face lift technique, also known as the "weekend" face lift, is targeted toward the younger end of the face lift patient spectrum, since it also functions as a preventative treatment as well as a corrective one. It uses smaller incisions than the traditional face lift, and its technique targets specific areas, rather than transforming the entire underlying architecture of the face. The mini face lift can address one, multiple combinations, or all of the following: the neck area, the jowls, the cheeks or the nasolabial folds (from the nostrils to the corners of the mouth). Incisions are made in the mouth and behind the hairline to allow the surgeon to lift muscle and skin tissue beneath. The effects are more subtle than those of other techniques, and the recovery period is shorter, yet as a preventative treatment, the mini face lift can stop the signs of aging before they appear, and enable the patient to maintain a youthful appearance for an extended period of time.
The Endoscopic Face Lift
The endoscopic face lift is less costly than the traditional face lift. It uses the latest surgical endoscopic technology, which allows tiny cameras and instruments to be inserted beneath the skin. Patients range from 30 to 50 years old, and do not have as much excess skin as those patients who undergo the traditional face lift. The endoscopic face lift can target specific "problem" areas of the face, shortening recovery time and decreasing potential side effects and complications. This technique uses three or more small incisions of less than one inch, hidden in the hairline or behind the ears. Because of extreme precision, endoscopic face lifts, unlike traditional face lifts, do not risk sensory loss, and yield significantly reduced bleeding, swelling and bruising.
The Mid-Face Lift
The mid-face lift technique targets the muscle and skin tissue of the cheeks. Patients who do not have excessive sagging in the neck or jowl often opt for the mid-face lift to restore a youthful appearance by smoothing and tightening the skin from below the eyes down to the lower cheeks. Many patients use this option to rid deep nasolabial creases and marionette wrinkles. Endoscopic technology is also used in this procedure, in which small incisions near the temple, above the ear, and inside the mouth are made. Permanent stitches are used to attach the cheek's inner fat pads to the temple tissue. Because this treatment addresses only one area of the face, there are fewer side effects and reduced recovery time.
The Threadlift or Feather Lift
This is one of the latest face lift techniques, and is the least invasive of all face lift methods. Special patented surgical threads is are used to lift and suspend facial tissues with self-anchoring threads attached to underlying tissues. This method is safer than other invasive methods, yields less side effects, and exhibits more natural results. However, because the technique has only been used since the early 2000s, the long-term results are still unknown.
The Lower Face Lift
The lower face lift technique addresses the bottom third of the face, around the jowl and neck, which is usually the area to most intensely exhibit the signs of aging. This procedure rids excess skin on the neck and jawline, and addresses deep wrinkles. It can also raise the corners of the mouth. "...Been covering your age from the whole planet? But for how many years will this keep going? Or got fed up trying those appealing anti aging creams, uncomfortable surgery and harmful chemicals? Do Not Worry, dear. Below is a natural treatment to look and get younger, healthier and sexier than you are. So here it is for you Anti-aging Foods..". The lower face lift tightens the skin's underlying structure by making small incisions around the ear, and/or using endoscopic technology to insert tools beneath the skin surface to remove fat and adjust facial muscles. Sutures conclude the procedure.
Considerations
Any one considering a face lift must consult with a plastic surgeon to determine which option is the best. All plastic surgery treatments have risks and side effects. All face lifts procedures are performed under anesthesia, and all have down time. Even the mini face lift has post-surgery downtime of up to a week. Patients choose face lifts over other cosmetic options, however, because the results last five years or longer. Patients must understand, though, that plastic surgeons cannot 100 percent guarantee a desired aesthetic outcome, and there is a margin between desired results and actual results.

Thanks for sharing! I believe the best facelifts don't look like facelifts. They just make people look their best. I often ask patients to bring photos of themselves from their youth to see how things have changed.
