Rhytidectomy (Face Lift)

Many people come to the realization that how they look and how they feel are years apart. Heredity, lifestyles, and exposure to the sun all affect the way we age. A facelift corrects the most visible signs of aging, removes excess skin, contours the jawline, and redistributes the facial volume to such areas as the deep cheek folds (nasolabial folds.) Bone structure and skin texture play a big part in how many “years a facelift can remove.” The ultimate goal of a facelift is to provide a “natural” more youthful look. The incisions are hidden as much as possible in the hairline or behind the ears. Some patients also undergo a forehead lift and/or eyelid surgery at the same time to create a total uniform result.
