Facelift Surgery in Manhattan

A face lift surgery is an operation designed to counteract the effects of aging and gravity. The skin starts losing its elasticity and begins to sag as early as the mid-thirties in many people, continuing to sag and lose elasticity as the aging process continues. The effects of gravity, sun exposure and stress all contribute to this problem. Creases form in the forehead and mid-face region, smile lines deepen and jowls become more prominent. The skin around the neck sags and fat may deposit in the neck and beneath the chin.

A facelift in essence, pushes back the clock, improving the most prominent signs of aging by removing excess skin, tightening muscles below the skin. Fat is removed if necessary. A facelift can be done alone or in conjunction with other procedures such as eyelid surgery, nasal surgery, forehead lift or even liposuction. A facelift can make you look younger and fresher. A face lift also enhances your self confidence. Patients should have reasonable expectations prior to undergoing a facelift and realize that while they will look younger, fresher and more rested, the clock can't be turned back indefinitely. A facelift does not stop the aging process.
