While aging may bring wisdom, the changes it brings to our appearance are rarely as appreciated. As facial tissues age, the skin loses its elasticity, progressively sags, and becomes lined and furrowed. The underlying fat shifts downward into the unsightly locations of the jowls, the neck, and the folds between the nose and corners of the mouth. A facelift, as performed at our office in the Bay Area, can help restore the trim, refreshed, and attractive appearance of youth while maintaining the natural expression that is yours.
Once a simple skin lift operation, today's sophisticated facelift repositions and smoothes the facial tissues without creating a tight, unnatural, or "wind tunnel" look. During the facelift procedure, excess fat is removed, underlying muscles are tightened, and the skin is re-draped, rather than stretched tight as in older facelift techniques. Amazingly, all this is accomplished while generally leaving scars that are barely noticeable.
A personal consultation with Dr. Friedman at our Bay Area office is the first step toward finding out if facelift is right for you. He will devote all the time necessary to answer your questions and discuss your concerns. You'll have an opportunity to see examples of his work, speak to other facelift patients, and visualize the proposed changes by computer imaging techniques. That way, you and Dr. Friedman can work together toward a desired visual goal before the actual facelift surgery.
