Many people don't realize that facial liposuction surgery can be an alternative to a face lift procedure.

In a face lift the surgeon will cut skin out of the cheeks and/or necks and then pull the remaining skin tight. Unfortunately the procedure will leave some kind of a scar, even though it may be tiny and difficult to recognize.

Facial liposuction and/or liposuction of the neck can remove fat from under the skin. This often has a good cosmetic effect and in some cases can be used to avoid the downsides of a traditional face lift.

Consult with your physician and consider all the alternatives he or she propose to you.
