Introduction
Facial fascia lifting is a cosmetic skin procedure that removes excess soft tissue by lifting, resulting in tighter skin. Prior to the surgery, anesthesia is administered. Three 1-centimeter vertical incisions are made within the hairline of the forehead—on both sides of the central and middle hairline. Portions of the frontalis muscle, corrugator supercilii muscle, and depressor superciliaris muscle are severed, and excess skin tissue is removed. Finally, the skin is sutured and secured into place.

Facial fascia lifting is a cosmetic skin procedure that removes excess soft tissue by lifting, achieving a skin-tightening effect. The specific process is as follows:

1. Select an appropriate anesthetic before surgery and inject it to numb the area at the top of the forehead where dissection will occur;

2. Make three 1-centimeter vertical incisions within the hairline on both sides of the central and middle forehead;

3. Sever portions of the frontalis muscle, corrugator supercilii muscle, and depressor superciliaris muscle, and remove excess skin tissue;

4. Gently pull the skin backward and suture it into place to complete the procedure.

In addition, facelift surgery may easily lead to complications such as facial infection, pain, and scarring. Therefore, it's important to choose a reputable and正规 hospital when undergoing this procedure.
