Facelift

The natural aging process, genetic influences, the effects of gravity, exposure to the sun and other factors can cause skin to wrinkle and sag. These changes are usually most apparent on the face. Deep creases may form between the nose and mouth, the jawline may sag and skin folds and fat deposits may appear around the neck.

A facelift (also known as Rhytidectomy) is the most effective way of restoring a youthful appearance to the lower face and neck. By tightening facial and neck skin and muscles and removing any excess skin. A facelift may be performed alone, or in conjunction with other procedures such as a forehead lift, eyelid surgery, or nose surgery. Most facelifts are performed on men and women in their 40’s and 60’s, but facelifts can also be performed successfully on people in their 70’s and 80’s.

Facelifts are very individualized procedures, and you must first be evaluated by your surgeon and discuss your goals for the surgery. Most patients are delighted with the with their more attractive and rested appearance.
