What Is A Facelift?

A facelift is a surgical procedure designed to tighten the muscles and skin in the face and neck in order to improve overall facial contours, smooth wrinkles, remove excess loose and sagging skin, and make the face appear younger. 

Is A Facelift Right For Me?

Through the years, time and gravity leave their marks on an aging face.  Skin begins to loosen, and wrinkles and creases develop. Fat pads slip from their natural, youthful position.  The jaw line loses definition and jowls can form.   Loss of youthful tissue volume can create a hollowed, gaunt appearance.  Aging may be unavoidable, but that doesn’t mean you have to accept looking older than you want.  A facelift can help mitigate and even reverse many of the signs of aging to help you look younger and more refreshed.  If you’re bothered by the signs of aging and want to look naturally younger, a facelift might be right for you.  Set up an appointment today to discuss how we can help you achieve the facial rejuvenation you desire. 

How Can I Get The Most Natural-Looking Results?

Many patients have the same question:  How can I look younger, without having my face look like it’s been “done?”  Sometimes blunter, less nuanced approaches to plastic surgery can result in an over- tightened, operated appearance that’s both unnatural and unnecessary.  At Skin Laser & Surgery Specialists, Dr. Kim uses an artistic approach that marries the most advanced short scar surgical techniques with well-placed fat grafting in order to achieve the most natural-looking results.  By using a blended approach, Dr. Kim is able to strategically tighten loose and sagging skin; improve overall facial contours; smooth wrinkles, folds and creases; and add youthful fullness to achieve natural balance and proportion.  The results are outstanding:  a younger, natural-looking you. 

What Kind Of Results Can I Expect With A Facelift?

The results from a facelift can be dramatic:  most patients will look 5 to 10 years younger after a facelift.  Of course, nobody can stop you from aging as the years progress, but by setting back the clock now, you’ll continue to look younger than you would have if you hadn’t had a facelift. 

Can A Facelift Be Combined With Other Procedures?

Absolutely.  Patients often combine facelift with other procedures, such as eyelid surgery, nose surgery, fat grafting or brow lift, for even better results.  Many of our non-invasive procedures such as wrinkle fillers and Botox will only add to the results. Every face is unique and shows the signs of aging in different ways.  Dr. Kim will discuss with you what approach can help you achieve the look you desire.
