What is facelift

A facelift is a surgical procedure that aims to improve the appearance of the face by correcting loose tissue and reducing the signs of aging.

Indeed, over the years, the skin gradually loses its elasticity, with wrinkles forming first in the areas where facial expressions appear (mainly around the eyes and mouth), then reaching the rest of the face and neck. The facelift process treats sagging tissue and sagging skin to give a firmer, tighter and more youthful appearance.

Acne scars make many people unhappy with their appearance, especially acne scars that appear on the face. Acne scars generally leave traces and depressions of varying depth.
