What is Full Facelift Surgery ?
Full Facelift Surgery addresses aging changes throughout the mid-face and lower face, often including the jawline and jowl area. Unlike limited facelift techniques, a full facelift provides extensive correction by repositioning underlying structures rather than tightening skin alone, resulting in balanced and long-lasting rejuvenation.
