Facelift

For many patients, the energy and vitality they feel inside does not match the image they see in the mirror. A facelift procedure provides ours patients with a way to restore harmony by looking more like they feel. The effects of gravity on the appearance of the face are varied but unavoidable.  Sun, tobacco and wind can play a role in the development of lax skin and wrinkles. Change in the form and position of the facial bones and loss of fat also lead visual changes associated with aging.  

The facelift procedure is now customizable for all variations of aging. Based on our patients' needs, we are able to offer a variety of services ranging from the mini facelift, for the patient with limited evidence of facial aging, to a full facelift that may best suit the needs of our patients.

The facelift is often times accomplished with both upper and lower eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) as well as a brow lift to gain a more harmonious outcome. With today's facelift, the deep tissues are tightened as well as the skin, and the fat sculptured, removed or rearranged to restore a more youthful appearance to the face and neck. Often times, fat is harvested through liposuction techniques and then transferred to the facial area to replace the fullness lost to aging. This can also be accomplished through the use of fillers.
