On a Facelift, How Does the Skin Reattach to the Tissues when It's Redraped?

November 21, 2011
Asked By:Scorchj

I am worried about how the skin can be pulled up in a facelift (back to the cheek area), and then after the underlying work, it is redraped and tightened, so how does the skin "reattach", and what is the protection for not taking too much skin so the mouth doesn't close, etc.
