What is a Facelift
A facelift is designed to correct many aging features, restoring a more youthful, rested appearance with uplifted contoures and improved tone in facial skin and underlying muscle.

Where desired improvement can be isolated to the midfacial region, and where excess skin is less of a factor, a limited incision lift may be an alternative to a traditional face lift. A traditional facelift restores the midface, jowls and neck, allowing excess skin to be removed.

Your Facelift
Facelift incisions often begin in the hairline at the temples, continue around the ear and end in the lower scalp.

Fat may be sculptured or redistributed from the face, jowls or neck, and underlying tissue will be repositioned. Skin is redraped over the uplifted contours and excess skin is trimmed away. A second incision under the chin may be necessary to further improve an aging neck.

Good candidates for a facelift

  • Healthy individuals who do not have a life-threatening illness or medical conditions that impair healing
  • Non-smokers
  • Individuals with a positive outlook and specific, but realistic goals in mind

Procedures that may further enhance the outcome of a facelift

  • Facial implants
  • Soft tissue augmentation
  • Resurfacing techniques to improve the tone and texture of facial skin
  • Wrinkle reduction by injection of Botox®/Dysport® may be recommended prior to your procedure.
