Seattle Residents Have Access To A Facelift Surgery Resource Some patients get self-conscious when the facial aging process begins and the face is occasionally out of sync with the eyelids or forehead. A face lift is also performed when patients say they look older than they are, or when their friends say they appear fatigued and unwell rested. The face lift is a very popular facial surgery that we conduct frequently in our accredited surgical facility, and it ranks in the top third of all cosmetic facial plastic procedures performed on the face in terms of popularity. The face lift is a facial operation that is performed on the face to revitalize it for cosmetic reasons. The face lift tightens slack facial skin, neck skin and muscles, and jowls, as well as addressing neck fat. It also tightens the muscles of the face, the back of the neck, and the front of the neck. Excess skin and fat are removed from around the ears.
