Facelift
Over time, the affects of gravity, sun exposure, heredity, carcinogens, and the stresses of everyday life take their toll on the appearance of the face and neck. The facelift is a procedure which was pioneered to combat the tolls that time takes on the skin and tissues of the face. In the medical field it is called Rhytidectomy, and involves eliminating excess fat and tissue in the face, whilst tightening facial skin and muscles.
During a facelift, several incisions are made in facial skin, generally just above the temples. These incisions are invisible or nearly invisible on healing. When the neck is included in the lift, a small incision is made just under the chin. Through these incisions, the surgeon will perform skin tightening. Once completed, a subject may experience swelling and discomfort, which usually disappears within a few weeks. Your surgeon can discuss details and answer any questions you might have about this surgery. Schedule a consultation today.
