Who this may help
A healthy adult bothered by lower-face or neck laxity may be considered when non-surgical options are unlikely to address the degree or location of tissue descent.
Facelift
Features considered in proportion—not in isolation.
Facelift surgery addresses visible aging in the lower face and jawline by repositioning deeper support and managing excess skin. Planning at ICRS considers the face and neck together so the result can look rested and balanced rather than tight or overcorrected.
