Thank you for your question. There are many facelift available whether it be under a general anaesthetic or local anaesthetic. All facelift should target the SMAS muscle therefore ensure the longevity. Different surgeon will have different places of where the scars will be and how long the scars are. When you have a consultation ensure to ask these questions. Ask to look at before and after pictures to see whether you like their results. A facelift typical targets the jowls and will soften the marionette lines, however if they are deep they will not be removed. This could be addressed with some dermal filler after the facelift. The facelift I perform is under a local anaesthetic which means a significantly reduced downtime.
