However before considering such an undertaking, think about a necklift instead.  Sometimes it’s all some people need. A necklift just tightens the neck and leaves the face essentially unchanged. To me, the sign of a youthful face is how well the jawline is defined. Try it yourself, pull back the skin on your neck and see if you look younger. If you do, a necklift is probably the procedure for you. Normally, I can reserve a full facelift for an older person with deep facial wrinkles. The necklift alone works for many people ages 40 to 55 or 60.

So if you’re thinking about a younger look, make sure to ask your surgeon about the necklift procedure. It maybe all you need.
