A face-lift is a cosmetic surgical operation that can help you look younger. Sagging or folds of skin on the cheekbones and jawline, as well as other changes in the contour of your face that occur with age, can be reduced with this surgery.

A face-lift involves pulling back a flap of skin on each side of the face and surgically altering the tissues beneath the skin to restore the contour of the face to a more youthful shape. Excess skin is removed before the flap is sutured shut.
