Facelift vs. Hybrid Facelift: What Is the Difference?
A facelift is the surgery performed when the face sags overall due to aging and neck wrinkles are severe. However, in some cases the face sags overall and wrinkles are a concern while the neck does not sag much. The surgery suited to such cases is the hybrid facelift. Because it is performed with a shorter incision than a general facelift, it can ease the emotional burden.

A hybrid facelift is a lift that leaves out the neck lift of the traditional facelift
With age-related skin sagging, Westerners tend to show marked sagging of both the face and the neck, whereas Asians tend to show less sagging in the neck. In such cases, good results can be expected from the hybrid facelift, which differs in incision range and in the area that is lifted.
