The aging process drapes fat and excess folds of skin at the throat and adds deep creases between the nose and mouth. Gravity slackens the skin around the jawline, giving us a sagging and often unattractive appearance. A face lift, or rhytidectomy, can bring back a more youthful appearance and renew your self-confidence by removing excess fat, tightening the underlying muscles, and redraping the skin of the throat and face. Your bone structure becomes more visible and well-defined.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What are the goals of the procedure?

A face lift will tighten and redrape lax skin of the face and neck.

How long does the surgery take?

Face lift procedures require 3-4 hours of surgery if performed alone, more if combined with other procedures.

What can I expect after surgery?

After a face lift procedure, you will see a mild amount of swelling and bruising, which will resolve in about 2 weeks. Your sutures will be removed 5-10 days after surgery.

When can I return to work?

Most patients return to work 10-14 days after surgery.
