Aging, excess sun exposure, extreme weight loss, and the effects of gravity may all lead to sagging skin. Lifts and tucks are surgical procedures that remove excess skin and fat while improving underlying muscle structure. Examples of these types of procedures include:

• abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)
• mastopexy (breast lift)
• blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)
• rhytidectomy (facelift)
• brow lift (forehead and eyebrow lift)

Of all cosmetic procedures, cosmetic surgery carries the most risk. It carries the same infection and bleeding risks as any other surgical procedure, as well as additional risks unique to each individual procedure. People who are interested in these types of procedures should discuss thoroughly the risks and benefits with their healthcare provider and, if they choose to undergo surgery, follow their healthcare provider's instructions carefully during pre- and post-surgery care to reduce the risk of complications.
