What is a Surgical Face Lift for?

The main goal of a surgical face lift is to enhance your image by reducing the signs of aging. Who doesn't wish to fight the signs of aging?

What our experts think

Surgical face lift is an invasive technique that tightens the tissues under the skin and excess facial and neck skin are excised to achieve resizing, shaping and repositioning of facial features for a more youthful appearance. This procedure won't decrease wrinkles in the skin, damage from sun exposure or uneven skin tone, as it is meant to correct the loss of skin elasticity resulting from aging. There are some minimal side effects such as bruising, infection, scarring and hair loss, but with careful preoperative planning for each patient and proper surgical techniques, many of these complications can generally be avoided.

Who should consider Surgical Face Lift?
