The term “facelift” is a broad term that refers to various surgical and non-surgical techniques used to improve the appearance of the face.

The most common type of facelift surgery is a surgical procedure on the face that involves lifting the cheeks, removing excess fat from the neck and chin, and tightening the muscles. However, there are many types of facelift treatment methods, including surgical and non-surgical ones.

In this post, I am going to discuss with you 9 different types of facelift procedures

Facelifts come in two types: surgical and non-surgical. It is up to the patient and their doctor to decide which option is best for them on a case-by-case basis.

Some patients have medical reasons that make it hard to undergo a surgical facelift while others might really like having one. T

here’s a definite difference in the results they produce so adults should consult an expert or speak with their doctors before they decide which way is best for them.

Try to keep any goals you have and the expectations you hold for this procedure in mind while discussing your concerns.

Types of Facelift

1. Liquid Facelift

Liquid facelifts are very popular and are one of the most common types of facial rejuvenation procedures.

It is a procedure that is used to tighten the skin and reduce wrinkles. It often involves injecting a solution of Botox, Restylane, Dysport, or Juvederm into the muscles around the eyes or onto the forehead, chewing muscles, or around the mouth.

These serums usually have measured concentrations of collagen or hyaluronic acid, which stimulate collagen production and promote skin elasticity.

This procedure is known for its simplicity, time-efficiency, and non-invasive technique.

How long does a liquid facelift take to work?

The procedure takes about 30 minutes, but it does require more than one session to see results.

2. Cutaneous Lift

The cutaneous lift is best for lower areas of the face, such as the jaw and neck.

The procedure will be done as follows:

• Incisions are made around the hairline and ears. The top layer of skin is then separated from muscle and tissues, and the excess skin is folded back.

• Excess skin is removed, the remaining skin is pulled to cover the cuts. Then, incisions are closed with sutures.

This procedure involves stretching the skin to make it look smoother, healthier and younger-looking.

3. Temporal Lift

If you have droopy or unhealthily low eyebrows, this might be a good procedure for you (not a filler).

The temples and eyebrows are close together on your forehead. Thus, targeting just one area of the face (e.g. the forehead) will also help to remove wrinkles from other parts of your complexion.

From your hairline, a small incision will be made. The skin and muscles of eyelids are lifted up and drooping skin is removed.

This procedure, which is also called the brow lift, is a fast and less invasive alternative to the eyebrow lift. The brow lift will allow you to take action in much less time and with more convenience than traditional procedures to elevation your brows.

4. S-Lift

An S-lift is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the lower half of a person’s face. This procedure is called an S-lift because an “s” shaped incision is made in the lower half of a person’s face.

An incision is made from the corner of one eyebrow to the other and then down to the chin. The excess skin and tissues are detached and removed,

After the surgeon removes the top layer of skin and tissue, they will separate it from the facial muscles and tissues underneath.

The goal of the procedure is to lift up the skin and stimulate tightening muscles, taking away unwanted fat cells. The end result is smooth, wrinkle-free skin.

5. Rejuvenation Of Jaw Line

A jawline rejuvenation is a procedure that can be carried out on both men and women. The procedure usually takes less than an hour and is done under local anesthesia.

Neck liposuction involves removing excess fat cells from the neck area. This will allow your surgeon a room to contour and reshape your jawline so that it is smoother.

 6. Mid-Facelift

The mid-facelift surgery is a type of facelift that is intended as an alternative to a traditional facelift.

It is less invasive than the traditional procedure and has fewer temporary side effects. It is also less expensive in the long run because it fixes one area of the face at a time instead of multiple areas all at once.

This procedure targets the middle part of the face, so it’s especially good for people with sagging cheeks.

It is a popular choice for people who want to look younger, but don’t want to undergo a full facelift. It provides a more natural, subtle enhancement that can be completed in one short visit.

7. Mini Facelift

Mini facelift is an alternative to the full facelift procedure. It is a minimally invasive surgery that is done to achieve a natural and youthful look.

The procedure includes the following steps:

1) The surgeon will make an incision at the hairline and then pull down on the skin at the side of your head/

2) Skin will be cut from your neck, and then pulled up to cover your face.

3) The surgeon will then make a deep incision in the muscle at your neck and remove excess fat from this area before stitching it back up.

A mini facelift can help you get rid of jowls or make them less noticeable. Jowls typically form around the lower half of your cheeks as your body produces less collagen as you get older.

 

  

8. SMAS / Deep Plane Facelift

The Deep Plane Facelift is a type of facelift that is an alternative to the traditional facelift. The goal of this facelift is to tighten the lower eyelids, remove excess fat from the neck and jawline, and soften the nasolabial folds (wrinkles on either side of the nose).

This procedure typically takes two hours to complete. The surgeon will make incisions in a natural crease in your lower eyelids or at the corner of your mouth.

They will then use sutures to pull your skin up and away from your fat deposits. This will cause a more youthful appearance by removing excess fat deposits and tightening loose skin around your eyes and mouth.

9. Cheek Lift Procedure.

Cheek lift is a procedure that lifts the cheek area of the face. The procedure is done by pulling up skin and fat from behind the ear, then cutting out a wedge of skin and fat from under the chin. This pulls up and tightens the lower cheek area, which can make your face look more youthful.

There are many reasons that people choose to undergo a cheek lift. Some people have sagging skin or loose neck muscles in this area, while others have acne scars or wrinkles in this region. Other people may just want to improve their appearance for aesthetic reasons.

The procedure takes about an hour and is performed under general anesthesia in an outpatient surgical facility or hospital operating room.

Patients can expect swelling, bruising, redness, numbness, and tingling for 1-2 weeks after surgery as well as some numbness in their earlobe for 3 months or longer following surgery.
