A surgical facelift is a means of correcting the changes that happen to a person's face with age. The procedure is performed on people over the age of 40 and wants to reverse the effects of ageing. The surgery works by removing wrinkles and excess skin around the neck, which is then pulled up over the face to tighten it. It gives a person a more youthful appearance. This treatment is also used to reduce wrinkles on other parts of your face, such as your forehead or eyebrows.
