Service description

The aging face is characterized by changes in the skin as well as underlying structures and connective tissue. As the skin loses elasticity over time, loose excess skin can start to sag giving the face an aging appearance. Excess skin can cause wrinkles all over the face and “jowls'' along the jawline. This makes the face appear to have a square shape. Also, the soft tissue underneath the skin also increases with laxity as the face ages. The facelift procedure provides a solution to aging. The excess skin and underlying soft tissue is trimmed and re-attached in a new position to provide a smoother look. Through facelifts at our practice, these visible signs of aging can be dramatically reduced. In some cases, depending on the needs of the patient, cheek or chin implants may be recommended to restore diminished facial volume to enhance the results of a facelift.
