What a Facelift Can Address

A facelift is effective at correcting a variety of age-related concerns, including:

• Sagging in the mid-face region.
• Deep creases that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth (nasolabial folds).
• Loose skin and jowls in the cheeks and jawline.
• The "turkey wattle" or excess fatty deposits under the chin and jaw.
• Fallen fat deposits that give the face a hollow or aged look.

The Surgical Procedure

Each facelift is a highly customized procedure based on the individual's needs. The general process includes:

1. Consultation & Planning: Your surgeon will conduct a detailed consultation to understand your goals, analyze your facial structure, and create a precise surgical plan.
2. Anesthesia: The surgery is performed under either general anesthesia or intravenous sedation to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
3. Incision: Incisions are carefully made in inconspicuous areas, often starting in the hairline at the temples and continuing around the earlobe, ending in the lower scalp.
4. Reshaping & Lifting: The surgeon lifts and repositions the deeper layers of facial tissues and muscles, repositions fat, and removes excess skin for a tighter, smoother contour.
5. Closing: The incisions are closed with sutures or skin adhesives, which are designed to be as discreet as possible.
