Face Lift Surgery - Los Angeles - (Rhytidoplasty)

Sun exposure and the aging process cause changes in the face of the mature adult. These changes are a deepening crease between the nose and mouth, fatty deposits under the chin, and a loss of definition in the jawline. Laxity of the neck skin further exaggerates the aging appearance. These changes are illustrated graphically to the right. Face Lift Surgery in Los Angeles can help.

The deep plane lift is a layered approach that allows tightening of the interlacing network of connective tissues joining the facial muscles underneath the skin. This procedure provides a longer lasting and more favorable result compared to just tightening the skin. Fat is removed from under the chin through a small incision. This enhances the jawline and tightens the muscles in the neck.

The surgery takes about four hours to perform. Patients may elect to be entirely asleep or under sedation. Sutures are removed after seven days following the facelift.

A growing number of men and women are beginning to have facial surgery performed in their early forties rather than waiting for the effects of aging to become more dramatic.
