What is the procedure involved in a lower face lift?

The newest face lift is the "String Lift". A string in sewn around the edges of the face then pulled up to smooth out wrinkles

There are several and diverse procedures for a face-lift:

* Traditional lift. A long incision is done following the hairline and the skin is lifted.

* Laparoscopic lift. Two or three small incisions are done at the hairline, laparoscopic instruments are inserted and the muscles and skin repositioned.

* "Russian thread". Small incisions are done and a thread with gripping features is inserted through small canules. The thread is then pulled to lift the skin and muscles.

* "Gold mask". A net of gold threads is inserted to provide support to the skin of the face.
