The facelift procedure as performed today has a powerful and long lasting rejuvenating impact. The "skin only" surgery of yesteryear (still in practice today by some surgeons) could not have benefited this patient. It is by repositioning the deeper structures (muscles and fat pockets) then redraping the skin gently over them that a good result is attained.
