Face Lift (Rhytidectomy)

As we age, our facial skin loosens and wrinkles, and the muscles of the neck may weaken as well. Anything that will cause the skin to lose elasticity will hasten the process, including sun exposure, weight fluctuations and heredity. A facelift can address these problems by firming and tightening the skin of the face and neck all in one step. It is most effective for the lower face (jowls and neck). To effect a more complete facial rejuvenation, facelifts are frequently done in conjunction with other procedures such as blepharoplasty (eyelids) or neck liposuction. Facial fillers or Botox may also be recommended to address wrinkles and lines in your face.

Facelift surgery was developed and refined over a century ago and has undergone many changes. The facelift that your parents may have had is not the same as today's contemporary techniques. A generation ago, a facelift had an average hospital stay of 4-5 days. Most of our patients today are home by 4:00 the same day. With the recent advances in instruments, technology and anesthesia, facelift surgery has never been easier or more affordable.

Another difference in today's facelift patient is the age. Today's patients do not want to wait until they look old to have cosmetic surgery. They want to stay younger looking all their life. In the past, most patients waited until their sixth decade and underwent a big operation with an extended recovery. Today's patients opt to have a series of smaller surgeries at an earlier age in an effort to always look more youthful and refreshed.
