PROCEDURES - Face Lift
Procedures
Growing older and wiser may feel wonderful, but when unwanted lines and wrinkles have come forth on your face – you may not enjoy the way your look has changed. A facelift may be a procedure to consider should you wish to “set back the clock.” Technically known as “rhytidectomy,” a facelift is an effective solution towards gaining a more youthful appearance. The effects of gravity, exposure to the sun, and the stresses of daily life are all contributing factors toward its popularity among men and women seeking enhancement; a facelift is one of the most sought-after cosmetic surgical procedures in the country. Rhytidectomy can perk up your image by improving the deep creases that form between the nose and the mouth (nasolabial folds), a slack and jowly jawline, and even the folds and fat deposits that appear around the neck. Although most patients are in their 40s to 60s, facelifts can be successfully performed on individuals in their 70s and 80s as well.
Dr. Dubrow of Newport Beach has years of experience in cosmetic surgery. With a keen eye for aesthetic beauty, he is committed to helping patients love their look – starting with their face. Frustrated with wrinkle creams and night treatments that don’t work? Rhytidectomy can improve certain areas that have been bothering you by providing long-lasting, youthful-looking results. The aging process will always progress; showing visible signs on our faces. Yet, a facelift can last anywhere from about five to 10 years. This surgery entails the removal of excess fat, the tightening of underlying muscles, and skin redraping of the face and neck. For a typical full facelift, the incisions usually begin above the hairline at the temples, extend in a natural line toward the front of the ear, and can continue behind the earlobe to the lower scalp. Still, the exact placement of the incisions and how the surgery unfolds depends on your facial structure and the doctor’s technique.
Meeting with a doctor during an initial consultation visit to discuss which facelift method is best for your condition should be a comfortable experience. This is a perfect time to share your goals and expectations with Orange County facelift surgeon Dr. Dubrow, and with a practice rooted in personalized patient care and safety, he will address all of your concerns and answer any questions you may have.
