When addressing "loose skin" of the face it is important to address the issue from both a "quantity" perspective as well as a "quality" perspective.
Lets us first discuss "quantity". As we age we lose volume in our face (primarily fat). As a result skin can hang down as gravity acts on it creating droopiness, wrinkles and bands.

The best way to tighten loose skin is through a comprehensive face/neck lift.
Loose facial skin will also have loose fascial attachments and muscles of the face, specifically in the neck and jowl area. Therefore the skin and its underlying structures must be tightened to achieve long-lasting results.
Tightening the skin alone can leave the patient with a pulled, tightened, and wind tunneled look.
