- Incisions: The surgeon will make discreet incisions placed in strategic locations, often around the hairline and behind the ears, to minimize visible scarring. These incisions allow for access to the underlying tissues.
- Tissue Repositioning and Removal: The Cosmetic Surgeon will lift and reposition the underlying muscle and tissues, removing any excess skin or fat as needed. This step helps restore a more youthful contour to the face and neck and reduce the signs of ageing.
