(Rhytidectomy)
A facelift can reduce sagging skin on the face and neck – making these areas appear firmer and fresher. While the effects can be quite dramatic, your skin type, age, heredity and bone structure will all play a role in the results that can be achieved. And, contrary to popular belief, a facelift will not remove all the folds and wrinkles, but can significantly improve the appearance of the skin. The procedure may be performed in an outpatient surgical suite or in a hospital outpatient facility. Dr. Finkle makes the incisions within the temple areas, in front of the ear and on the scalp within the hairline. An incision may also be made in the area under the chin.
