NEW YORK, NY, February 03, 2011 (Press-News.org) Depending on the desired results, many different facelift techniques are available today to help you achieve a younger, more youthful look. Unfortunately, no consensus exists on the best type of facelift to perform. The outcome of your facelift procedure lies in the hands of a qualified plastic surgeon that knows how to tailor each procedure to match the specific needs of each patient. A qualified plastic surgeon can determine if small results that need minimal recovery or a more extensive facial overhaul might be necessary.

Today, plastic surgeons offer many different facelift procedures, but a few of the more popular facial enhancements are the standard facelift (lower jaw facelift), mid-face lift, and a mini lift. These surgeries can even be combined to give patients the ideal results.

Standard Facelift (Lower Jaw Facelift)

One sign of facial aging occurs when the lower jaw begins to sag and the soft and delicate skin starts losing its elasticity. Aimed for those with sagging skin problems and bands in the lower face and neck area, this type of facelift technique is growing in popularity. In a lower facelift, the excess skin that hangs loosely from the jaw is removed. This type of facelift leaves a scar that will typically be located in front of the ear radiating to the back of the ear.

Mid Facelift

When cheeks and eyelids begin to sag and create a tired look, a mid facelift can restore this area of the face, making it appear smooth and more youthful. Using this technique, plastic surgeons will make incisions to adjust the fat and muscle tissue. This will pull up the middle of the face to give smooth and tightened skin results. Recovery time for this type of facelift is about one week, since it is less invasive than a standard facelift. Patients will also experience less bruising and swelling with a mid facelift.

Mini Facelift

To soften the aging effects in the jaw line and neck areas, plastic surgeons can perform a mini facelift procedure that typically results in less downtime than the standard facelift.
