This woman
had a face lift
to reduce the jowling and excess skin, followed by a peel of her entire face to treat the wrinkles.
In general, the face lift operation removes
sags, bulges, and extra skin, whereas the peel is used to tighten the skin surface and smooth its
wrinkled texture. Many people require both procedures for optimum improvement.
We can't perform a peel of the entire face at
the very same time as a face lift operation. It is too much to ask the skin to heal on its surface from the
peel at the same time that it must heal underneath from the face lift. If we want to perform both procedures,
we do the face lift first, followed by the skin peel about six weeks later.
However, if you require a peel only around
your mouth, a peel of that area can be done at the same time as your face lift.
