About Facelift Procedures
 

A meloplasty or rhytidectomy, also known as a facelift, is designed to diminish the visible effects of aging by targeting the shapes and dimensions of the face and neck.

By integrating cutting-edge facial procedures and contemporary insights into facial anatomy and its impact on aging, we can provide our patients with the best possible outcomes, ensuring enhanced safety and minimal recovery time.
 
 
What Can A Meloplasty (Facelift) Do For You?
 
 
A meloplasty, commonly referred to as a facelift, can address various aspects of facial aging that cannot be reversed through diet, exercise, or skincare products. As individuals age, the skin on the face and neck loses its elasticity, and there is a decline in fat volume in the mid-face region. Additionally, the underlying facial bones lose support, leading to the descent of soft tissues. This natural process results in flatter cheeks, deepening lines around the mouth, a less defined jawline with the formation of jowls, and loose folds of skin on the neck.
 
Modern meloplasty or facelift surgery techniques effectively and safely address these changes. If you are considering a facelift, ask yourself the following questions:
  • Do you have visible creases, lines, folds, wrinkles, or other signs of aging?
  • Are you bothered by excess loose skin causing jowls?
  • Do you desire lifted and tightened facial skin?
  • Would you like to achieve a more defined jawline?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, a facelift could be beneficial for you. Unlike temporary solutions, a facelift offers longer-lasting results. Our goal is to help you achieve natural-looking results without an overly pulled appearance.
 
 
Are you an Ideal Candidate?
 
 
Determining whether you're an ideal candidate for a meloplasty (facelift) is an important decision, and we want you to feel confident about it. Here are key considerations:
 
Healthy non-smoking women typically make excellent candidates for this procedure. If you're experiencing skin laxity around the jowls and neck, loss of facial definition, or a tired appearance, a meloplasty (facelift) can address these concerns effectively. The initial step involves assessing your suitability for the procedure, ensuring you're comfortable with your decision.
 
The suitability of candidates varies based on their desired outcomes. A comprehensive meloplasty (facelift) and rhytidectomy (neck lift) are typically recommended for women in their 50s to 70s. On the other hand, a mini meloplasty (facelift) is often more suitable for women in their 40s.
