A face lift can
help restore the look of your youth by selectively canceling
out those features, which signify age:
- Cheeks are elevated
- Folds are flattened
- Jowls tightened
- The neck is redraped
- Excess skin is removed.
 Your
appearance is not replaced, but a younger appearance is
restored.
Due to modern face lift techniques,
a very natural look, hidden incisions and a longer lasting
result are possible with a much shorter recovery. In many
people, the hanging jowls and deep cheek folds are actually
mid-cheek skin and fat that has fallen down. If we bring
them back up to where they once were, the result is a longer-lasting
and more natural look.
The face and neck are usually
lifted together. A small incision is made under the chin
to tighten the neck muscles and fix the neckbands if the
neckbands are very pronounced. If they are not very prominent,
no chin incision is needed. Face-lifting takes 2- 3 hours
and is done either under anesthesia or with IV sedation.
Patients are usually up the same day and back to most activities
in about 5 days. Makeup will cover residual bruising and
pain is very minimal. Many patients combine face-lifting
with a forehead lift for complete facial rejuvenation.
