A face lift, also called rhytidectomy, smoothes the loose skin of the face and neck, tightens underlying tissue and removes excess fat. As a result your face will appear younger and fresher. A face lift restores smoother and more pleasing contours to your face and neck. It can help you look as good as you feel, and perhaps feel younger than you are.
During your initial consultation, you will be asked to look in a mirror and point out those areas of your face which you would like to see improved. Men as well as women can benefit from face lift surgery.
Dr. Anderson will discuss additional procedures that may be performed along with the face lift in order to address all of your concerns. For example, the face lift is frequently combined with the Anderson Endoscopic Facial Suspension procedures, eyelid surgery, nose reshaping, and laser resurfacing.
Are there risks? Fortunately, significant complications from face lifts are very infrequent. Every year, thousands of people undergo successful face lift surgery, experiencing no major problems and are pleased with the results. Anyone considering surgery, however, should be aware of both the risks and the benefits.
It is important to know hat Dr. Anderson is a recognized facelift expert and has taught fellow plastic surgeons worldwide.
