    The difference between the types of facelift surgeries depends on the areas of the face that are targeted during the procedure.

    The face can be generally divided into three sections:

    Upper face: The forehead (including the brows, eyes, and hairline).

    Middle face: The area extending from the corner of the eyes to the corner of the mouth (includes the cheeks, above the upper lip, and lower eyelids).

    Lower face: Everything below the corner of the mouth (including the chin and the jawline).

    While the mid-facelift is designed to address descending skin and wrinkles in the middle of the face, a full facelift covers all three sections.
