The face you see in the mirror every morning is a vital part of your identity. It’s the first impression you make on strangers. And, it’s one of the first places where the subtle signs of aging are recorded in fine lines and sagging skin. Facelifts range in size from “mini” to “standard” depending on location and extent of skin laxity. Facelifts can be done alone, or performed in conjunction with another procedure such as a forehead lift, eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping.
A facelift can considerably reduce these signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening the underlying muscles, and redraping the skin around the neck and face. Facelifts can be done alone, or frequently performed in conjunction with another procedure such as a browlift, eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping. If your problem areas are limited to the neck, a more conservative procedure, known as a "necklift" will be recommended. In some cases, a facelift can reduce the outward signs of aging by ten or fifteen years.
