If you are beginning to notice deep wrinkles, jowls, or loose or sagging skin, it may be the right time to consider a facelift.
A facelift is often combined with a neck lift. A facelift includes an incision located behind the ear, that continues around to the front of the ear. Where this incision lines stops is determined by the amount of lift necessary for each patient. Fat is removed or redistributed, and then the tissue is repositioned, and muscles are lifted. Another incision under the chin can be made to improve the neck.
Facelifts are long lasting solutions to skin laxity, and generally last 10 or more years with good maintenance through good skincare.
