Face Lift
A facelift is a surgical procedure designed to improve visible signs of aging in the face and neck. It is important to understand that while a facelift can restore a more youthful appearance, it does not alter your fundamental facial features or stop the natural aging process. Although non-surgical treatments may help delay the need for surgery, they cannot deliver results comparable to a surgical facelift.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Facelift?
Ideal candidates for a facelift are men and women who experience one or more of the following concerns
- Sagging in the mid-face
- Deep creases beneath the lower eyelids
- Pronounced folds between the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds)
- Jowls along the jawline
- A double chin
How Does a Facelift Work?
A facelift restores a more youthful appearance through several key steps:
- Tightening weakened facial muscles to improve tone and firmness
- Removing excess skin to enhance facial definition
- Repositioning or removing excess fat to create smoother contours
- Redraping the skin to reduce deep creases and folds
- Rejuvenating the face for a refreshed and balanced appearance
