World Class, State-of-the-Art Cosmetic Face Lift Surgery
w/Lower Costs
Face Lift & Neck Lift (Rhytidectomy)
Cosmetic Surgery
As people age, the effects of gravity, exposure
to the sun, and the stresses of daily life can be seen in their faces. Deep
creases form between the nose and mouth; the jawline grows slack and jowly;
folds and fat deposits appear around the neck. A facelift (technically known as rhytidectomy)
can't stop this aging process. What it can do is "set back the clock," improving
the most visible signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening underlying
muscles, and redraping the skin of your face and neck. A facelift can be done
alone, or in conjunction with other procedures such as a forehead lift, eyelid
surgery, or nose reshaping.

Facelift Cosmetic Surgery
Rhytidectomy
A facelift will lift your sagging cheeks, smooth your jaw
line, and eliminate jowling. Plastic surgery of the face will also tighten the
loose skin of your neck, remove excess fat from under your chin, and correct the
turkey-gobbler appearance of your neck.
A facelift will NOT eliminate your wrinkles and other skin
problems. Skin care, laser resurfacing, chemical peels and dermabrasion
complement a facelift because they address wrinkles. Some people are interested
in gaining the benefits of a facelift, but unwilling to undergo surgery. So,
they choose to have a procedure called Thermage instead of a facelift.
Incisions and Scars from a Facelift...Scars will
extend from above your ear, down the front of your ear, around your ear lobe, up
the back of your ear, and into your hairline behind your ear. There is another
incision beneath your chin. Most scars from a facelift are hard to see once they
heal. Your scars can be camouflaged with make-up within three weeks and should
fade beyond detection in one to three months.

Tips and Traps of a Facelift
- Mini facelifts have been touted all over the internet. Do
not be deceived. Those who perform them likely do so because they do not
know how to perform real facelifts. They claim that mini facelifts provide
excellent results with only a few days of recovery. This is simply not true.
Mini facelifts involve removing a minimal amount of excess skin near the
ear, but have no effect on the skin near the cheeks, jowls, or neck. As
stated by Dr. Lawrence Robbins, former president of the American Society for
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, "The only thing a mini facelift lifts is the
patient's wallet." Realize that if mini facelifts were effective, then all
plastic surgeons would be performing them. Also, be suspicious when viewing
"impressive" results of a mini facelift on the web. The actual results are
not that impressive.
- Beware plastic surgeons whose facelifts cause their
patients to look like someone else. You want to look like a younger version
of yourself, not like a different person.
- Because a facelift will only rejuvenate the lower
two-thirds of your face, consider eyelid surgery and forehead lift at the
same time to restore youth and maintain harmony.
- Quit smoking two weeks to two months prior to surgery.
- Quit taking aspirin and aspirin products at least two
weeks before surgery.
- Wait two to three months after a chemical peel or laser
resurfacing of your cheeks before you have a facelift (unless it is a micro
peel).
- Sleep in a recliner or with your head elevated on pillows
for the first several days to minimize swelling. Frequent application of ice
is also important.
- Expect that your facelift will turn back the clock by an
average of seven to ten years. You will continue to age on your new face,
and you may be ready for another lift within a decade.
