I am considering having a face/neck lift and the above photo clearly demonstrates the descending jowls obscuring my jawline. I am 51 and have reasonable skin condition, the jowls are not just skin but are full and fatty. What happens to this fat during a face lift? If it is repositioned, where is it repositioned to or is it removed altogether or is this something that is customised for each patient? What are the benefits and disbenefits of the differing techniques to deal with this issue? Thanks
