What Is Achieved With Facelift Surgery?
Fine lines, wrinkles, deep creases, and folds can occur with facial aging. The facelift procedure tightens the facial tissues and removes excess skin to correct skin laxity and smooth and tighten the remaining skin and tissues. The results are smoother, tighter skin and fewer lines and wrinkles on your face and neck.
Fat pockets and skin laxity can cause the face to lose its youthful definition and contours. With facelift surgery, facial definition is enhanced by removing excess, sagging skin and tightening the facial tissues. Elimination of sagging jowls and displaced fat gives the face a more slender, youthful, and defined appearance.
Facelift surgery can help you to look more youthful. This surgery removes excess fat, tightens the skin, and adjusts the facial tissues so that they rest more naturally and youthfully on your facial structure. After the procedure, your skin will look and feel taut, your wrinkles will be gone, and your face will look years younger.
Facelift surgery also enhances the neck. Neck muscle banding, fat pockets, and sagging jowls can cause the neck to look older and less defined. The facelift procedure corrects each of these issues to produce a more slender and youthful neck with improved definition and shape.
