Face Lift

About

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to restore a more youthful appearance by addressing common signs of aging in the face and neck. This procedure can effectively improve:

  • Facial sagging and skin laxity

  • Deep creases and wrinkles around the eyes

  • Wrinkles and folds around the mouth and nose

  • Loss of facial volume and displaced fat

  • Jowls caused by muscle tone loss

  • Loose skin and excess fat under the jawline and chin

How It Works

Facelift surgery involves making incisions that typically begin at the hairline near the temples, extending along the hairline and behind the ears. This approach allows for the removal of excess skin, tightening of underlying muscles, and repositioning of facial fat to create a smoother, more lifted appearance.

In some cases, an additional incision under the chin may be required to enhance the results. For patients with good skin tone and mild to moderate sagging, a shorter incision technique may be used. Liposuction may also be incorporated to remove unwanted fat and refine contours. While incision lines will initially be visible, they typically fade over the course of a year.

Benefits of a Facelift

  • Restores a more youthful, refreshed appearance

  • Lifts and tightens sagging facial skin and muscles

  • Softens deep lines and wrinkles

  • Enhances natural facial contours

  • Provides long-lasting rejuvenation results

Possible Complications

As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks and complications. Dr. Arrington will thoroughly review your medical history and discuss any concerns to ensure a safe and successful outcome.
