With increasing age, the skin and soft tissue in the face and neck area sags and droops. Typical signs include wrinkles between the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds) and fat deposits in the lower cheek area, which alter the angle of the lower jaw and neck. A facelift restores these drooping and sagging skin areas in the cheek and neck region to their original shape.
Disturbing vertical wrinkles ("frown lines") in the center of the forehead or horizontal wrinkles with drooping eyebrows can be effectively treated with botulinum toxin. A more pronounced and lasting effect is achieved with a forehead lift.
