Operation to reposition
the skin, fat
and muscles of
the face that
have become displaced
as a result of
aging, gravity
and sun-damage
to achieve a more
youthful and natural
appearance.
Why have a facelift?
To regain a more
youthful look.
To enhance the
facial features.
To correct displaced
tissues, skin,
fat and muscles
of the face.
As we age several
things happen
to our face. The
skin looses elasticity
and becomes lax,
fat decreases
and becomes displaced
by gravity.
Muscles also
loose their size
and strength and
with loss of bone
especially around
the upper and
lower jaws, the
face takes on
the typical features
of aging.
The skin looses
collagen and with
sun-damage and
pollution (smoking),
pigmentation (age
spots), fine blood
vessels and wrinkles
appear.
The Facelift
operation will
help reposition
displaced skin,
fat and muscles
to achieve a natural
subtle youthful
appearance. However,
several other
treatments or
procedures may
be required to
achieve a full
rejuvenation of
the face.
Rejuvenation
treatments or
procedures may
include; skin
care-Obagi, IPL
Photo-rejuvenation,
BOTOX, Isolagen,
Fillers and Browlift,
cheek or chin
implants. What
is right for you
will clearly depend
on your goals.
Thus, at the time
of your Consultation
a thorough discussion
of these and the
options is essential
to providing you
with the highest
standard of care.
Remember surgery
will not change
you and solve
any life crises,
but should boost
your self-confidence
and enjoyment
of life.
