Aesthetic Surgery Procedure

Improves the aging of face by correcting sagging jowls, neck and mid-face. Creating a more youthful, rested appearance.

Technique

Typical incisions begin with the hairline, above the temple and continue along or just inside the ear. This allows access to tighten underlying tissue, remove excess fat and reduce sagging skin. A second incision under the chin is sometimes necessary. If skin tone is good and only mid-face aging and excess fat in the neck will be corrected, abbreviated techniques with shorter incisions may be used. Liposuction techniques may assist with removal of fat deposits.

Generally performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Patient is admitted for a few days after surgery.

Results

Swelling and bruising subside within 2-4 weeks, final results apparent in 1-2 months. Incision lines continue to refine and fade for 1 year. Restricted sun exposure in conjunction with resurfacing techniques.
