Is it automatic to include a neck lift & browlift with a facelift?

I have read some literature stating neck lifts are included with facelifts, and have had one surgeon tell me they include it, but is it generally part of a facelift procedure? Also, are brow lifts typically included in a full facelift? I see pics of facelift patients who state they only had a facelift, but have sutures in their scalp above their brows.

Procedure: Facelift
Location: Fairbanks, AK

You are perfectly right. Lay people normally do not know the details and differencies between facial rejuvenation operations. Full face lift normally includes face lift and neck lift only. You should ask ; blepharoplasty upper and lower, midface lift, temple lift, brow lift, liplift, forehead rejuvenation, skin treatements such as TCA, laser, fat grafting details, Earlobe rejuvenation

The neck and face are usually done at the same time. Occasionally some patients can be candidates for only a neck lift. Eyelids and brow lifts are separate procedures
