In facelift surgery, the midface, upper face and neck can be intervened separately or together. If necessary, an incision can be made under the chin for the neck. An incision line is made that starts from the scalp, passes just in front of the ear and turns behind the ear. Proceeding under the skin, the excess skin is released and removed. The muscle tissues under the skin are tightened. If deemed necessary at the end of the surgery, a drain can be placed.
