I have heard that a facelift only treats the lower face and neck.

Question:

I have heard that a facelift only treats the lower face and neck. What then treats the mid-face region?

Answer:

A standard facelift treats not only the lower face and neck but also the mid-face region. What a standard facelift does not treat is the brow, but a good facelift can also work on the SMAS tissue underneath the skin and can get elevation in the area of the nasolabial folds and also the jowls.
