Step 2: To sculpt your face, fat from your skin may be removed or added, which is done by making a cut. These incisions are of the following types:
- Traditional Facelift: A cut is made at the temple which is around your ear or hairline that ends with the lower scalp. From this cut, the fat is redistributed by targeting the jawline, neck and lower face to give a natural look.
- Limited Facelift: It includes a small cut at the temples by continuing the ear. It is also called mini facelift, as the name suggests, it does not include a whole facelift. It is done to correct droopy jaws and saggy skin or skin with less elasticity.
- Neck Lift: This incision helps to improve the neck and the lower face by making the first cut on the chin and another behind the ear.
Step 3: To give an attractive appearance, fat is removed or added. After this, the incisions were made, and the stem facelift is closed with sutures. These stitches are covered with bandages.
