Are the upper and lower face lifts together called face lift?

If health is wealth, then surely beauty is what reflects it.

Hi, does anyone here has gone for a face lift surgery to get rid of the saggy cheeks? I'm seriously considering getting it from a clinic in Oakland. Before having consultation with the surgeon, Dr. Joseph Togba, I would like to know the difference between upper and lower face lifts, mini-lifts and neck lifts. Are the upper and lower face lifts together called face lift?

For legal reasons I would suggest that you should remove both the name of the surgeon as well as the location of the clinic in question from your posting, using the edit button.

The surgeon is always the best person to explain the meanings of these different types of facial cosmetic surgery to you, as well as more importantly what he professionally advises in your case.

But the following information might also be useful to you.
10. What is the difference between facelifts, upper and lower facelifts, mini-lifts, and neck lifts?

When plastic surgeons discuss facelifts among ourselves, we're referring to a procedure that has an impact on the cheeks, jowl and neck. It requires incisions placed in front of and behind the ear.

A neck lift addresses neck skin redundancy or deformity, and involves an incision behind the ear and usually beneath the chin.

Mini-lifts are usually done for patients who have relatively minor concerns about their cheeks and jowl. They are often done to refresh a face that has had a facelift before.

Upper and lower facelifts are usually scheduled together and are another way of saying "facelift."

The jowl is the lower part of a person's cheek, especially when it is fleshy/plump or drooping/flaccid.

Good health and good luck,
