Things seem to change so quickly in the field of cosmetic surgery that what was new one year is suddenly old hat by the next. While the changes may not be as drastic as all that, it does highlight the need to keep on top of current techniques, particularly with regards facelift surgery. Today, there are a growing number of surgical and non-surgical techniques used for facial rejuvenation, some of which are less invasive and require no more than a trip to the doctor's office. If opting for a surgical facelift, it is important to understand some of the more traditional techniques used by surgeons today as well as the results that can be achieved.

A facelift can involve removing excess skin, smoothing out folds or wrinkles, and tightening facial tissue. A facelift is only focused on the bottom two-thirds of the face and often the neck. People get facelifts for a lot of different reasons. A common reason is to help disguise signs of aging.
