What is a lower face lift?

Will vary by surgeon: In general, surgeons will generally approach the aging face by systematically analyzing the head into the upper (forehead/upper lid), middle (lower lid/cheek/upper lip) lower (lower lip/jawline/chin) thirds of the face and the neck. The lower face lift will generally address the lower 1/3 of the face and neck.

Lower facelift: Theface has different parts, usually upper middle and lower.Aging effecys all of these.Soem may just want to address their lower face such as jowls.This is a choice.

Lower face and neck: A lower facelift will usually address the lower face and neck.

Most common procedur: In the right hands a lower facelift should rejuvenate the entire face from the border of the lower eyelid to the area where the neck meets the chest wall. This can be done with a small incision placed within the ear canal itself. This is my most popular procedure surgically.

Common procedure: Lower facelift involves rejuvenation of the lower cheek, jawline, and neck line. It commonly involves incisions around the ear on both sides, and a small incision in the neck area. This is a very potent procedure that commonly produces excellent results.

Neck lift: Incisions behind the ears and into the hairline will be used in tightening neck skin.

A modified facelift: The term face lift is hard to define because different surgeons use different terminology to describe their respective procedures. They use terms like "short scar facelift", "mini-lift", "quick lift", etc. Some of these terms are descriptive, while others just sound appealing and are used for marketing purposes. A lower face generally pertains to a jowl and neck lift and excludes teh upper face.

Facelift: Surgeons will sometimes use a variety of different terms to describe the same procedure when it comes to "facelift". I would communicate directly with the surgeon using the term "lower facelift" to have a better sense of exactly what procedure she is describing.

Smooths the jawline: The lower facelift treats the loose skin of the jawline which forms "jowls." jowls are the sagging skin/fat which hangs below the jawline which disrupts the smooth jawline. The lower part of the face is next to the neck (below the jawline) and the cheek fat pad above it. A lower facelift can be combined with a necklift (if needed) and some lifting of the cheek to help create a uniform result.

Lower facelift: A lower facelift is a procedure performed via an incision hidden around the ear. It tightens the lower face, improves the jawline and tightens the neck. I hope this information is helpful. Stephen weber, M.D. Lone tree facial plastic surgeon.

Facelift: A facelift procedure is generally performed to enhance the appearance of the lower third of the face and neck. This surgery addresses the jowl region and any loose skin in the cheeks and neck. It is also known as a rhytidectomy as wrinkled skin the lower part of the face and cheeks are removed.

Facelift / Necklift: A facelift is a generic term for many specific surgical procedures that rejuvenate the face and neck. In general a facelift lifts the area from below the eyes down to, and including the neck, so the term lower facelift is more accurate, but not usually used. Lifting above the eyes is termed a browlift, and correcting the loose skin of the eyelids is termed an eyelid lift or blepharoplasty.

Treats: Jowels neck and to some degree face wrinkles and folds.

Lower Face Lift: Essentially a lower facelift focuses on the lower jaw line including the jowls, marionette lines, and upper neck. Surgeries like the litelift, quick lift, lifestyle lift, macs lift and others are all examples of lower face lift procedures.

Lower facelift: A lower face lift will improve the jawline and help soften nasolabial folds. The incision is smaller than a traditional facelift. There is less dissection and less downtime. Have your face evaluated by a board certified facial plastics surgeon to see if you are a good candidate.

A vague descriptor: Surgeons use this term loosely- there is not strict consensus. It usually involves tightening and shaping the jawline and neck- it usually does not involve the cheek bone area, eyes, or forehead. Ask your surgeon exactly what areas that will be addressed with their version of a lower face lift.

No difference: Depends on your definiition. All facelifts rejuvenate the face from the lower eyelids to the base of the neck; that is, the lower 2/3 of the face and neck. So, depending on your definition, that procedure is either a "facelift" or a "lower facelift." rejuvenation of the upper third of the face is done with upper eyelid surgery and some variation of a browlift.

Classification: As patients desire less invasive procedures, surgeons have described alternatives to the traditional facelift of 30 years ago. To this end, we have divided the classification of surgeries to address the upper, middle or lower 1/3 of the face. The lower face lift treats the lower face and jawline and generally does not improve the middle (cheek/lower lid) or upper (upper lid/forehead) face.

Area treated : A lower facelift is different from a brow lift or mid face lift with regard to the tissues that are manipulated. A lower facelift includes work at the jawline and neck that may extend upward into the cheek - the goal is to reduce or eliminate jowling and fullness under the chin and to sharpen the neck and jawline as well as soften the soft tissue folds near the nose and mouth.

Variation: It is a variation of a full facelift. Usually done with a smaller incision.

Semantics: There are areas of the face that are target by procedures that rejuvenate the face. A lower facelift usually refers to the lower 1/3 of the face and/or neck. However, the incisions used to access the areas for lifting usually overlap.

Facelift : A "facelift" traditionally addresses the lower face, jowls and neck. A wide range of variability exists between surgeons with regards to techniques used so i would suggest asking the individual surgeon what is meant by specific terminology.

Neck and jowl lift: The term face lift is hard to define because different surgeons use different terminology to describe their respective procedures. They use terms like "short scar facelift", "mini-lift", "quick lift", etc. Some of these terms are descriptive, while others just sound appealing and are used for marketing purposes. A lower face lift is an operation that primarily addresses the jowl and neck areas.

Facelift surgery: Dear monzttrl, this is a confusing topic...A facelift aims to lift the lower third of the face (jowl, jawline, puppet line) and neck. It is the same thing as a lower facelift. When you go to your consultations, i wouldn't worry about the names, rather focus on what areas you would like to improve. Best regards, nima shemirani.

Neck lift: A lower facelift is aimed premarital at the neckline. Most skilled plastic surgeons will agree that you cannot truly treat these areas with acceptable results without performing a true facelift.

Confusing terms.: There are a number of terms used to describe practically the same thing. Most patients more than 50-55 years old could benefit from face-lifting techniques. It is paramount for the patient to convey to the surgeon which areas of the face they are looking to improve.

Lower facelift: Is a standard facelift, correcting everything from the cheeks on down. Upper facelift is a term sometimes used instead of browlift or forehead lift. Mid-face lift is a specialized correction of the triangular area between the nasolabial crease, eyelid and outer cheek only.

Lower face lift: A lower face lift will improve the jawline and help soften nasolabial folds. The incision is smaller than a traditional facelift. There is less dissection and less downtime. Have your face evaluated by a board certified facial plastics surgeon to see if you are a good candidate.
