Are you interested in a Face lift?

Face lift, also known as rhytidectomy, is one of the cosmetic surgery procedures performed to address evident signs of aging in the face and neck, to give the patient a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance. Typically patients who seek Face lift surgery are those who have genetic, chronological or environmental signs of facial aging.

Non-surgical and less invasive facial rejuvenation treatments, such as Botox® or Dermal Fillers, are temporary measures to address the signs of aging such as wrinkles, frown lines and volume loss. Face lift surgery offers longer lasting refreshed and rejuvenated results.

There are a number of techniques to perform Face lift surgery, with varied results and success. Macs lift; S Lift and Thread lift offer quick “lunch time” Face lifts. They temporarily address the sagging skin but not the sagging underlying primary soft tissues. These procedures are also restricted by the kind of patient for whom they are appropriate.

However, as the results are only temporary, many patients are unsatisfied longer term and seek correction with a comprehensive Face lift at a later date. Read More »
