UNDERSTANDING A FACELIFT

Aging and the environment can take a toll on your skin and rob you of your youthful beauty. If you are bothered by signs of aging in your face, facelift surgery may be right for you. The facelift surgical procedure offered at Cypress Cosmetic Surgery Center improves visible signs of aging, such as:

• Sagging in the midface
• Deep creases below the lower eyelids
• Deep creases along the nose extending to the corner of the mouth
• Fat that has fallen or is displaced
• Loss of muscle tone in the lower face may create jowls
• Loose skin and excess fatty deposits under the chin and jaw can make even a person of normal weight appear to have a double chin

Rejuvenation procedures typically performed in conjunction with a facelift inclue a brow lift to correct a sagging or deeply furrowed brow and eyelid surgery to rejuvenate aging eyes.

As a restorative surgery, a facelift does not change your fundamental appearance! It simply lifts loose, sagging skin and restores your youthful facial structure. Although a facelife will not stop the aging process, it makes the process more desirable.

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE

The best candidate for a facelift is a man or woman whose face and neck have begun to sag, but whose skin still has some elasticity and whose bone structure is strong and well-defined. Most patients are in their forties to sixties, but facelifts can be done successfully on people well in to their seventies or eighties. Facelift surgery is a good option for you if:

• You are physically healthy
• You do not smoke
• You have a positive outlook and specific, but realistic goals in mind for the improvement of your appearance

A facelift is a highly individualized procedure that can only be performed surgically. While the non-surgical rejuvenation treatments we offer may complement the results of surgery, they do not achieve the same personalized results.
