A facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that can counteract the effects of aging, sun exposure and the ravishes of stress.
By removing fat from the neck and other parts of the face, as well as tightening the muscles and skin, a more youthful appearance can be achieved. Facelift costs are reasonable and definitely worth the results they provide.
At Plastic Surgery Specialists of South Florida we approach the face as three distinct areas, upper, middle, and lower for a facelift. The upper face includes the forehead, brow, and eyes. The middle face includes the nose and cheeks. The lower face is made up of the mouth, chin, and neck. Procedures can be used to concentrate on a particular detail, but face procedures can also be combined and performed all at once. So a brow lift, eyelid surgery, and rhinoplasty might be combined to provide more dramatic results.
Our facelift philosophy is to lift, not stretch, the face. By repositioning sagging facial skin in a vertical, anti-gravity vector, we are able to avoid the artificial look that comes from stretching the face back. Incision scars are especially unwanted on the face. Our doctors place all incisions in inconspicuous places like the natural folds of the face and ears, or hidden behind the hairline.
