Upper Face: eyelid lift | forehead lift
Mid Face: cheek augmentation | dermal fillers
Lower face & Neck: chin augmentation | facelift | liposuction

Within the past few years, women and men have accepted that a facelift could be the answer for them.  The “plastic” or pulled look that was the signature of traditional facelifts is no longer the result now being obtained.  In fact, often no one can tell that you have had a facelift, yet you can look up to ten years younger - without looking “plastic.”

FACELIFT CANDIDATES…

The best candidates are men and women in good general health who have:

• Sagging facial skin, especially along the jawline and neck
• Good skin elasticity as this surgery does not change overall skin texture - though procedures like laser peels can be performed at the same time
• Strong and well-defined bone structure 

Facelifts have been successfully performed on patients in their 70s and 80s - though expectations need to be realistic.  All surgical candidates participate in in-depth consultations to best educate them and to help with the decision-making process.

AFTER SURGERY…

Within the days following surgical facelifts, bruising is likely to occur and usually fades within two weeks.  Medications are provided to help reduce any discomfort and restrictive dressings are required for at least 24 hours after surgery.  Within just a few days you will be permitted to wear camouflage makeup.  After the recuperation period many of our patients say, “I wish I’d done it sooner."

Today’s average facelift lasts ten to fifteen years and follow-up procedures can be performed to keep you looking as good as you can for even many more years.  Though this does not apply to “mini-lifts” and some other modified versions.
