If you are seeking a more youthful appearance for your face, a facelift surgery might be the procedure you’re looking for. This surgery, called a rhytidectomy, will remove major wrinkles, smooth lines and reduce sagging skin on your face and neck.

As skin ages, it begins to wrinkle and sag as time goes on. Young people and children naturally have smother, rounder faces because the fatty tissues in their face are evenly distributed in the facial contours. When people age, this even distribution becomes irregular due to genetics and sun damage, resulting in skin that sags and folds around the neck, jawline and chin.

With a facelift, key areas of the skin and muscles on your face and neck will be tightened to restore a more youthful appearance. The dramatic results can take as much as 10 years off your face, and there are a number of ways for a doctor to perform a facelift surgery:

Rejuvenating Eyes

As one of the most striking features on your face, your eyes are likely the first thing people notice about you. To keep them looking young, a doctor can help remove the deep lines and crow’s feet that develop around your eyes as you age. A lift around your eyes will also reduce puffiness, and make you look more awake.

If this isn’t enough to produce results to your satisfaction, you can take it a step further with a blepharoplasty. This procedure can help by removing excess skin and fat around your eyes.

Giving Your Chin and Cheeks a Lift

In addition to age, genetics and sun damage, how much collagen you produce also plays a role into how much your skin will sag as you age. Naturally, less will be produced as time goes on, and your chin and cheeks are vulnerable to sagging. The facelift procedure will remove extra the excess sagging and created a more contoured look on your face. This can take of common problem areas, like double chins and sagging jowls.

Your neck will also greatly benefit from a facelift procedure. As with your chin and cheeks, the skin begins to slump in this area as you age. A facelift can help remove excess skin and redefine your neck, which can have a dramatic effect on your profile.

Say Goodbye to Forehead Wrinkles

A facelift can also help you get rid of the wrinkles on your forehead. Because of sun damage, furrowing your brow and frowning, deep lines and wrinkles can develop on your forehead as a part of the normal aging process. A facelift is an easy remedy to this common problem. There are a number of ways a doctor can get rid of these lines and wrinkles, like a brow lift procedure. Not only does this produce great results, but it produces results that look as natural as possible.

Other Procedures

There are a few other types of procedures that can be combined with a facelift to achieve the best results. As mentioned before, a blepharoplasty can be performed to improve the look of your eyes and a brow lift procedure can be used to get rid of forehead lines and wrinkles. Additionally, a chin augmentation can be performed as well. This procedure using surgical implants to alter the structure of your chin, giving it a different shape and balancing it out with your other facial features. Liposuction can also be done while getting a facelift. All of these procedures will work together to rejuvenate your face. And a facelift can be performed multiple times throughout the years as aging continues to take effect.
