Face Lift

A facelift is an operation designed to give the face a more youthful appearance. The facelift addresses the cheeks, jowls and neck. These areas are tightened and shaped to return the younger look. Facelifts are most commonly performed on patients in the 40 – 60 age range. However, the procedure can produce good results for people in there 60’s, 70’s and 80’s as well.

Dr. Larson has been trained to perform many different variations of the facelift technique. These techniques are used to address individual differences in your aging process, anatomy, areas of skin laxity, and hairline position.

The facelift incision is typically hidden in the natural contours of your ear, then extends around the earlobe and back into the hairline.

Facelifts are designed to:
1) tighten the skin of the face
2) re-suspend the fallen cheek fat back over the cheek bones
3) tighten the neck skin
4) elevate the jowl skin and fat back to its mid cheek position
5) hide the incisions in natural contours of the face

There are additional procedures that are commonly performed with facelift surgery that you may desire. These procedures include blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), browlift, dermabrasion, laser resurfacing, lip augmentation, and rhinoplasty.
