Facelift Scottsdale Techniques

Scottsdale, AZ – As an individual ages, the tone of the facial muscles decreases and the facial skin elasticity also diminishes. All these changes, allow wrinkles and lines to become more prominent.

Facial Aging and Plastic Surgery.

These age related events can combine to cause a flabby or droopy appearance in the face and neck. Loose skin, jowls, lines, and wrinkles develop as a natural result of the physical aging of the face. The cheeks may also become flabby resulting in the development of deep laugh lines.

Jowls and Facial Plastic Surgery.

The jowls continue to sag, leading to a double chin. The turning down of the corners of the mouth, the formation of deep folds and wrinkles around the mouth coalesce, resulting in an aged facial appearance.

A Natural Facelift result.

Plastic surgery of the face, or facelift, can reverse many of the changes that occur as a result of natural aging. The goal of facelift is to make patients look younger and healthier. The results of facial plastic surgery should appear as natural as possible.

In my practice, the highest priority is given to restoration of the sagging facial tissue into the normal, youthful anatomic position. This means the surgeon has to manipulate the tissue and pull in a superior direction, and not simply backwards.

We must understand that with aging the face falls down due to gravity. Pulling the saggy face in the correct upward direction typically results in a very natural and youthful appearance.
