Face and neck lifting surgery is designed to restore a more youthful appearance to the cheeks, the jawline and the neck. Any excess fatty tissues are removed and the skin and soft tissues are tightened through incisions around the ear. This is usually performed under a general anesthesia as an out-patient. However, the patient may elect to spend the night.

Time in surgery: 5 hours
Time off from work: 2 weeks
