Facial Procedures

Rhytidectomy
(facelift)

As people age, the effects of gravity, exposure to the sun, and the stresses of daily life can be seen in their faces. Deep creases form between the nose and mouth; the jawline grows slack and jowly; folds and fat deposits appear around the neck. A facelift cannot stop the aging process. What it can do is “set back the clock”, improving the most visible signs of aging be removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and redraping the skin of your face and neck. A facelift can be done alone, or in conjunction with other procedures such as forehead lift, eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping. A facelift can be done as an outpatient.
