Facelift

Face Lift is a surgical procedure to improve the visible signs of aging of the face and neck. As we age, the influences of gravity, facial expression and exposure to the sun weakens the underlying tissue attachments and slowly stretches out the skin.  Deep creases appear beside the mouth, the jaw line slackens and becomes jowly, and the neck develops loose folds and fat deposits. Smoking can also accelerate this process considerably. The rate at which this occurs varies from person to person, but these changes can be addressed with a face and neck lift.

Face Lift successfully removes and tightens the skin along the lower face and neck and results in subtle scars at the ears and into the hairline of the neck. When combined with other plastic surgery procedures (e.g., eyelid/forehead surgery, liposuction, chin implant, nasal surgery), remarkable improvements in one's overall facial appearance can be achieved. A facelift improves the neck and jowl areas mainly with limited effects on sagging tissues around the mouth. However, it does nothing for the aging appearance around the eyes and forehead. These are separate procedures (blepharoplasty, browlift), which while commonly done with a facelift to create an overall facial rejuvenation, are not included in the facelift portion of the operation.

 

Facelifts today are customized to the patient’s degree of facial aging, their concerns and their age. Along with the facelift, we offer other surgical and non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedures such as nasal, forehead or brow surgery. For the patients that do not desire a surgical procedure, Dr. Evdokimow offers Botox or a selection of injectable fillers. With Dr. Evdokimow’s skill and experience a natural look can be achieved with a much quicker recovery time.
