Facelift surgery (rhytidectomy) is a procedure, which rejuvenates the skin of men and women in order to reverse the visible effects of aging, gravity, overexposure to the sun, and stress. Facelift surgery involves the tightening of underlying tissues, the removal of excess skin and fat, and the graceful redraping of the facial skin, to achieve a younger and more refreshed look. Most people decide to have facelift surgery to address the signs of aging. As muscles weaken, the skin and underlying tissues loosen and begin to sag. This causes deposits of fat to slide downward and settle in different areas of the face. Even though a facelift does not stop the aging process, it can “turn back the clock” and improve overall facial contours. A facelift is often times performed in combination with a forehead lift (brow lift), neck lift, and eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty). In addition other procedures, such as nose reshaping (rhinoplasty), lip augmentation, chin implant or cheek implant surgery, are commonly performed at the same time to further define facial features. When considering a facelift procedure it is important to consult with an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who specializes in facial cosmetic surgery. It is important to discuss your needs and goals extensively with your facelift surgeon in order to achieve your desired results. During the consultation your facelift surgeon will thoroughly examine your facial structure and features to determine which results realistically can be achieved.
