Facelift

This patient sought our help because she was unhappy with her tired appearance. Her main concerns were noticeable early jowls and sagging cheeks. She wanted to look overall more youthful and vibrant. A surgical plan was developed after a thorough evaluation of the patient's facial features, skin texture and elasticity, and rejuvenation goals.

A facelift procedure was performed on this patient in our NYC office under local anesthesia with mild sedation. The incisions were carefully and discreetly placed curving around the ears, extending into the hairline behind the ears. The underlying muscle (or SMAS) was lifted and tightened. The main goal of this step was to create a youthful, defined contour of the lower face and get rid of tissue laxity.

For this patient, the facelift surgery was able to effectively remove the jowls, elevate the mid-face and restore a youthful cheek contour. The result of the procedure is a natural-looking rejuvenation, giving the patient the youthful, vibrant appearance she was hoping for.
