FACELIFT, MINI FACELIFT, & NECK LIFT

The facelift and neck lift are probably the most famous procedures in plastic surgery. Actually, infamous may be a better word. But with today's new surgical techniques and advancements, the procedures are more effective and natural-looking than ever. Both procedures involve tightening the skin and underlying tissue to leave you looking refreshed, rested and healthy. Many patients look as much as five to ten years younger and best of all, they look younger naturally. For less dramatic results (and a less invasive procedure) mini facelifts can rejuvenate the appearance of your face and eyes with much shorter recovery than a full facelift.

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is surgery performed to improve and sometimes eliminate evidence of aging, such as wrinkles and sagging skin, on the face and neck.

Although there are times when removing skin is helpful for excess skin folds of the neck and jowls, it often fails to treat significant areas of concern, such as the hollows below the eyes, or frown lines. An endoscopic browlift can treat frown lines without the traditional scar across the scalp. A mid-facelift can elevate the sagging fat and muscles of the cheeks to help return the natural, youthful fullness to the area below the eyes. As is evident in younger women, fullness in the lower lids is a sign of youth, while hollowness is a sign of aging. Because of this, removing fat from the lower eyelids does not always make sense. When there are bags or protruding fat of the eyelids, rather than remove it, it's redraped with a blepharoplasty to help fill the hollow below the eyes.
