Facelift (Rytidectomy)
Aging of the face may be inevitable, but looking old is not. Facelift surgery has become extremely popular and is being sought by an ever growing number of women and men who simply want to maintain a healthy, attractive, and youthful appearance.
A Facelift Corrects the Visible Signs of Aging
Time, gravity, and years of exposure to the elements conspire to bring about the inevitable signs of aging in facial skin. As we age, the skin loosens, thins and sags on the face and neck. Crow’s feet appear at the corners of the eyes. Folds by the upper and lower lip, or marionette lines develop. The jawline softens into jowls. The neck skin and muscle loosen, a wattle or double chin may form. As the platysmal muscle relaxes, vertical folds appear on the front of the neck. Wrinkles develop and pouches may form in the cheeks, jawline and neck.
Look 10-15 years younger…

Facelift FAQ
Who is a candidate for a Facelift?
If you have experienced a loss of skin elasticity and muscle tone of the face and neck. If you have the appearance of jowls and deep creases between the base of the nose and the corners of the mouth. If you have developed facial and neck wrinkles. If you believe you lack youthful chin and neck contours. If you think you have a tired facial appearance.
What is Facelift surgery and recovery like?
Facelift procedures are done on an outpatient basis. Monitored Anesthesia Care (MAC) is usually used for safety and comfort.
After a facelift, the patient goes home with head and neck wrapped in dressings, which are usually removed the next day. Minimal initial discomfort is easily controlled with oral medication. Sutures are removed within 14 days. Bruising and swelling decrease to “socially acceptable” levels in 10-20 days. The final result from a facelift is evident in 4-6 weeks or sooner with continued improvement for several months.
Procedures that would enhance the results of a facelift are: Eyelid Lift, Brow Lift, Chemical Peel, Facial Sanding (dermabrasion), Chin Enlargement, Rhinoplasty, Fat Suction, and Laser Skin Resurfacing.
