Face Lift

The natural agin process result in sagging of the deep facial structures and the development of wrinkles, jowls, and deepening of the nasolabial folds. It also results in weakening of the neck muscles thus the development of the “gobble or turkey neck”. A facelift will help restore the look of your youth by selectively reversing all the mentioned signs of aging. The cheeks are elevated, folds are flattened, jowls tightened, the neck is contoured and excess skin is removed and re-draped. The result is a younger and fresher appearance.

There are several variations of facial techniques. We obtain the best and longest lasting affects by repositioning all the deep structures in addition to redraping of the skin around the face and neck; this technique is called deep plane face lift. The incisions are made just in front and behind the ears and extend to hide within the hairline without changing the hairline position. It should be noted that facelifts do not correct the visible signs of again in the upper face: therefore it is most commonly done, if needed, in conjunction with upper and lower eyelid surgery, brow lift or forehead lift. For those who want to improve their skin texture and tone there is skin resurfacing by means of either chemical peels or lasers. Combining these procedures can reduce the outward signs of aging by approximately eight to twelve years.
