FACE LIFT (Rhytidectomy)

Men and women today are living longer, healthier, and more active lives than ever before. As we get older the sun, stress and gravity combine to produce the visible signs of aging in the face and neck. A Face Lift is an outpatient surgical procedure that is designed to reverse the visible effects of aging and provide you with a more youthful look to the face, neck and chin. See the amazing changes we can make.

The face lift procedure improves the sagging facial skin, loose jowels and neck by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles and redraping the skin of the face and neck. We work with each individual patient to turn back the clock on as many of the signs of aging as possible.

The procedure generally lasts a few hours and is performed under general anesthesia. Incisions are made to lift your face and re-drape your skin in a natural, more youthful way. These incisions are hidden within the natural contours of the ears and hairline to minimize visible scaring. If fat is to be removed from the neck and face, an incision may be required under the chin.

We often see our face lift patients back to work after a short recovery time of 10 to 14 days. We suggest avoiding strenuous activity until all bruising has subsided, most often in 2 to 3 weeks.

Your face lift will help you look younger, more vibrant and rested. Effects usually last 5 to 10 years.
