Facelift

As we age, the skin and underlying tissues of the face and neck lose their elasticity and support causing sagging, folds and wrinkles. The purpose of the Facelift is to re-support the skin and underlying facial muscles, providing a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Our doctors are renowned for their delicate touch, and eye for balance and symmetry. This artistic sensibility is critical to a successful Facelift. The experience and training of our board certified plastic surgeons is a huge asset in the quest for a natural looking result.

A Facelift, also called a Rhytidectomy, is one of the most sought after and satisfying aesthetic surgical procedures. It can remove most, but not all wrinkles. It can remove much of the sagging skin around the face and neck. Excess fat can be removed or sculpted as needed. Facelift surgery will give you a more youthful, fresh and natural appearance. Your expectations must be realistic, since there are limitations to what it can accomplish.

A facelift contours the fat, and supports the underlying muscles. It should be performed only by a qualified, experienced, board certified plastic surgeon.

The result is a blend of your individual anatomy, scientific principles, and the skill, style, and artistry of the surgeon. Every face is unique and the sculpting required for each patient should be individualized.

Are You a Good Candidate?

To be a good candidate for any plastic surgery, you must have realistic expectations about what the procedure can do for you. It's important to understand that plastic surgery can enhance your appearance and self confidence but, like all plastic surgery, it is not going to solve underlying emotional issues you may have. Always think carefully about your expectations and discuss any concerns you have with your surgeon.
