A facelift procedure can take years off the face by improving the drooping skin on the cheeks and jawline and leaving you with a refreshed, more youthful appearance.
*Individual results may vary
A facelift takes the sagging facial skin and underlying supporting structures that comes with age and lifts and tightens it to make you appear years younger. Gravity can be particularly cruel to the area from your neck and jowls to the cheeks, and a facelift beautifully improves this area.
Mini-facelift - This shorter facelift procedure is generally done on patients with moderate signs of aging. It targets minimal or moderate skin sagging, early jowls and excess skin.
Traditional Facelift - This is the usual facelift done to reposition the skin and muscles on the face and the neck, firm the jaw and reduce the effect of sagging muscles, wrinkles and deep lines.
SMAS - SMAS, or Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System, refers to the system of muscles deep in the mid and lower face. The SMAS facelift addresses both the top layers of sagging skin and the muscular structure to lift the mid and lower face, creating a firmer, more youthful face and neck.
Liquid Facelift - A nonsurgical facelift incorporates specially-designed combinations of facial fillers and skin injections to target wrinkles, contour the jawline and provide volume to the cheeks.
