Facelift

A facelift is designed to correct all of these aging features, restoring a more youthful, rested appearance with uplifted contours and improved tone in facial skin and underlying muscle.

Facelift

If you are bothered by the signs of aging in your face, a facelift may be right for you. Technically known as rhytidectomy, the facelift is a surgical procedure to improve visible signs of aging in the face and neck, such as:

• Sagging in the midface
• Loss of muscle tone in the lower face may create jowls
• Deep creases below the lower eyelids
• Deep creases along the nose extending to the corner of the mouth
• Fat that has fallen or is displaced
• Loose skin and excess fatty deposits under the chin and jaw

Rejuvenation procedures typically performed in conjunction with a facelift are brow lift, to correct a sagging or deeply furrowed brow, and eyelid surgery to rejuvenate aging eyes.

What it won’t do: As a restorative surgery, a facelift does not change your fundamental appearance and cannot stop the aging process.

A facelift can only be performed surgically; non-surgical rejuvenation treatments cannot achieve the same results, but may help delay the time at which a facelift becomes appropriate and complement the results of surgery.

A facelift is a highly individualized procedure and you should do it for yourself, not to fulfill someone else’s desires or to try to fit any sort of ideal image.

Facelift surgery is a good option for you if:

• You are healthy
• You have a positive outlook and specific, but realistic goals in mind for the improvement of your appearance
