What Is a Lower Facelift?

A Lower Facelift is a surgical procedure that rejuvenates the lower third of the face by lifting and repositioning the deeper facial tissues while removing excess skin.

The procedure primarily targets aging around the jawline and lower cheeks, helping restore youthful facial definition.

A Lower Facelift can improve:

• Jowls
• Marionette lines
• Loss of jawline definition
• Sagging lower cheeks
• Loose skin along the jawline
• Mild to moderate neck laxity
• Lower facial heaviness
• Overall lower facial aging

Unlike treatments that only tighten the skin, a modern Lower Facelift addresses the deeper facial support structures for more natural and durable results.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

A Lower Facelift may be recommended for patients who have:

• Mild to moderate jowls
• Sagging along the jawline
• Marionette lines
• Loose lower facial skin
• Early neck laxity
• Loss of facial definition
• Patients seeking lower facial rejuvenation without a full facelift

Most candidates are typically in their 40s through 60s, although candidacy depends on facial anatomy and individual aging patterns rather than age alone.

Benefits of a Lower Facelift

Restore a Defined Jawline

The procedure creates a sharper, more youthful jawline by lifting sagging tissues.

Improve Jowls

Loose tissue along the jawline is repositioned to restore smoother facial contours.

Reduce Marionette Lines

Lifting the deeper facial tissues softens the folds extending from the corners of the mouth.

Natural-Looking Results

Modern facelift techniques reposition deeper facial structures instead of simply pulling the skin, preserving natural facial expressions.

Long-Lasting Rejuvenation

A Lower Facelift provides durable improvement while allowing the face to continue aging naturally.

Personalized Surgical Planning

Every Lower Facelift is customized to the individual.

Your surgeon carefully evaluates:

• Skin elasticity
• Jawline definition
• Jowl severity
• Lower cheek laxity
• Neck skin quality
• Platysma muscle
• Facial volume loss
• Overall facial balance

Many patients achieve optimal results by combining a Lower Facelift with neck lift surgery, platysmaplasty, chin liposuction, fat grafting, or skin rejuvenation treatments.
