A face lift is a type of surgery that helps to tighten the tissues underneath your face and get rid of extra skin that’s making your face sag. This can make a big difference in how old you look, because it reduces wrinkles and jowls, which are those saggy parts under your chin. After the surgery, your face will look smoother and firmer, and you’ll still be able to make all your normal facial expressions. The goal is to make you look younger and more refreshed, without changing who you are.
