Facial aging does not happen uniformly. Different areas of the face age at different rates, influenced by genetics, sun exposure, lifestyle, and skin quality. Understanding common facial aging patterns helps determine which procedures are most effective for natural rejuvenation. McLain Surgical Arts, led by cosmetic surgeon Dr. Landon D. McLain, provides facial surgery to patients in Huntsville, Madison, Florence, Decatur, Scottsboro, Cullman, Athens, Alabama, and surrounding locations.

Upper Face Aging

The upper face often shows aging through drooping brows, forehead lines, and heavy upper eyelids. These changes can make patients appear tired or stern.

Procedures such as brow lift or eyelid surgery address excess skin and restore a more open, refreshed appearance.

Midface Aging

Loss of volume in the cheeks and descent of facial fat pads affect the midface. This can flatten cheek contours and deepen smile lines.

Midface rejuvenation may involve surgical lifting techniques or volume restoration to reestablish youthful contours.

Lower Face and Jawline Aging

The lower face commonly develops jowls, sagging skin, and loss of jawline definition. These changes contribute significantly to an aged appearance.

Facelift procedures are designed to reposition deeper tissues and improve contour rather than simply tightening skin.

Neck Aging

Neck aging often includes loose skin, muscle banding, and excess fat under the chin. These concerns may appear even when the face still looks youthful.

Neck lift procedures address muscle laxity and skin excess to create a smoother neckline.

Matching Procedures to Aging Patterns

Effective facial rejuvenation focuses on treating the specific areas affected rather than applying a single solution to every patient. Personalized evaluation ensures balanced, natural results.
