Loss of youthful contours in the face can be caused by a variety of factors, including thinning of the skin, loss of facial fat, gravity, sun damage, smoking, as well as heredity and stress.

A “Facelift” or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that improves the visible signs of aging on the face and neck, such as:

• Sagging facial skin.
• Deepening of the fold lines between the nose and the corner of the mouth
• The fat that has fallen or disappeared
• The double chin that develops between the cheeks and jaw.
• Loose skin and excess fat on the neck
• Rejuvenation procedures that can be performed in conjunction with a facelift include: brow lift, fat transfer to add volume to the lips and cheeks and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, or eyelid surgery, to rejuvenate the aging look.
• Non-surgical rejuvenation treatments cannot achieve the same results, but they can help delay the time when a facelift becomes appropriate and complement the results of surgery.
