I love the results that I have seen with facelift surgery. I have a loose neck and jowls and I would like to know if a face lift will also remove forehead wrinkles and wrinkles around the eyes.

A facelift will address the loose neck and jowls; however, it will not address the forehead or wrinkles around the eyes. Wrinkles around the eyes (also known as crow’s feet) are treated with Botox. If the wrinkles are relatively deep, you may also benefit from skin resurfacing with a fractionated laser. Same goes for the wrinkles of the forehead…treatment options include Botox and/or skin resurfacing with a fractionated laser. If the brows are slightly lower in position, you may also benefit from an endoscopic brow lift.
