Face Lift

A facelift works to treat the accumulation of deep wrinkles and loose sagging skin on the face and neck, which are the natural result of gravity and aging. Patients with good skin elasticity and a strong bone structure make the best candidate for a facelift. A facelift is a highly individualized procedure and may involve a combination of the following: tightening, trimming and repositioning of lose sagging skin, fat deposits trimmed or suctioned, underlying muscles tightened. Incisions may vary slightly, but most begin at the hairline at the temple, and follow the ear along the front and continue behind it into the scalp. Additional incisions may be made under the chin if attention needs to be given to the neck area. Click here to see sample sketches of the incisions.

A facelift takes between three to five hours. Your face will be pale, bruised and puffy after the procedure. This is expected. It will take a few weeks before your results are fully apparent
