A surgical facelift relies on tightening the underlying structure of the face and removing excess skin.

What is more important however is replacing the lost volume. Look at anyone in their youth and they have a fullness to their face particularly noticeable in younger woman with high cheekbones.

As we age we lose fat from the cheek area often revealing a flatness in the mid-face and the tell tale wrinkles and lines under and around the eyes. This area in particular benefits from volumising with dermal fillers.
