On One Hand: Helps Deep Wrinkles

A face-lift, also known as a rhytidectomy, removes deep wrinkles caused by saggy skin that folds and forms creases (deep wrinkles), typically found on the forehead and cheeks.

On the Other: Does Not Help Surface Wrinkles

Face-lifts do not remove fine, surface wrinkles, especially wrinkles around the eyes and lips, according to Robert S. Bader, M.D.

Bottom Line

Face-lifts are a good choice for people who wish to remove deep wrinkles and contour the face by lifting saggy skin and muscles. For surface wrinkles, laser resurfacing, dermabrasion or chemical peels are a more appropriate choice. These procedures can be performed at the same time as a face-lift to treat both deep and surface wrinkles, according to Laryngorhinootologie Journal.
