Rhytidectomy

Before	After

As we age, the sun exposure, gravity and the stress is reflected on a persons face. A face lift can make you look younger and fresher, improving the most visible signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and redraping the skin of your face and neck. A face lift can be done alone, or in conjunction with other procedures such as a forehead lift, eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping.

As the natural process of aging takes effect, the skin, muscle and natural fat deposits underneath the facial tissue begin to thin, and unwanted fat begins to deposit around the neck. All this can be corrected and a more youthful appearance can be restored with facial reconstructive surgery and eyebrow lift. The skin on the cheeks, neck and eyelids is treated, fat is extracted, and a new youthful fullness is given to the face through the removal of fat deposits from the neck and under eye bags. There are times when this same fat is used to fill-in ridges and to reshape the cheekbones and chin.
