	Facial aging is apparent in the lax skin and also the volume loss with deep smile lines and chin or "marionette" lines. Correction involved a full facelift with correction of the deeper tissues, or SMAS, with a resulting smooth chin line. Note the lower lid blepharoplasty, completing her new look.

	Facial rejuvenation and facelift are often about looking great at any age. A full facelift with SMAS or deeper tissue tightening produced very fresh results for this individual. Volume loss, which accompanies aging, was managed with fat transfers to the cheeks and marionette lines along the chin.

	The soft folds along the cheek and the neck call for a soft lift, with a focus on the neck, to lift and restore this early sign of aging. Both the skin laxity and loss of muscle tone underneath are corrected with long lasting results.

	Inherited facial shapes can challenge as much as age. This younger individual has a very heavy neck, which appears to age her face. Here a soft lift, or limited incision facelift, has been combined with direct removal of the excess fat from the neck and jaw line. Now, she can truly look her age.

	We like the term soft lift, a variation on a limited incision face lift, because it really does soften and freshen facial feature and expression. This individual combined a soft lift to shape the chin and neck, with an upper blepharoplasty and fat transfers to provide highlights over the cheek and softened the smile lines.

	Facial shape and volume are so important in facelift procedures. This individual isn't old; however, the volume loss has been aging. We completed a soft lift, or limited incision facelift, to correct the skin laxity and upper and lower lid rejuvenation to brighten her eyes. Fat transfers to the cheeks give us the necessary volume for this pretty result.

	This individual demonstrated a second facelift many years after her first, to freshen and reduce static facial lines, or wrinkles, at rest. Her life maintains vitality along the cheek and jaw line. She added nasal shaping, or Rhinoplasty, with an elegant result.

	This challenging neck was produced by a dramatic weight loss, which is still mirrored in her features. The laxity required a full facelift to tighten the jowl and neck, providing a slim face to match her new slim figure.

	The soft lift, or limited incision facelift, in this individual freshened the cheek and neck. The deeper tissue, or SMAS, was lifted to enhance the cheek bone and lower lids. Fat transfers in the lower lids have been very helpful.

	Sun damage and skin type often contribute to facial laxity and aging. There has only been modest volume lost over time. Wrinkles at rest predominate. Correction has been completed by full facelift with SMAS. The deeper tissues in the face are tightened with wonderful results.

	This individual has a full jowl which gives her face a square shape and lax skin in the neck. A full facelift with SMAS is seen here correcting the neck and jaw line and restoring a more youthful triangular shape.

	The jowl descent produces a square facial shape on frontal view, softened by full facelift, with a SMAS correction of the deeper tissues. Also, note her eyes are open and bright after upper lid correction with blepharoplasty. Lower lid rejuvenation has helped as well.

	This individual has a contour issue in the neck from a prior facelift. Neck contours were improved with a soft lift approach and shaping of the neck with fat transfers.

	A full facelift has addressed the cheek and jowl, as well as, the lax neck in this individual. She has complimented her result with an upper and lower lid blepharoplasty.

	Staying active and staying your best at any age are important goals of facelift procedures. This wonderful individual refuses to retire and completed a full facelift with SMAS to tighten deeper tissues. Fat transfers have erased the marionette lines at the chin. We are quite proud of her.
