Throughout our lives, many factors including heredity, gravity, stress, environmental conditions, and sun exposure, can cause the face, our most visible feature, to age right before our eyes. These visible signs of facial aging, including a loss of skin elasticity and firmness, sagging tissues, wrinkles, and sun-damage, can strongly influence how we feel about ourselves and how others see us. Individuals who are energetic and excited about life can appear tired or sad due to the loss of youthful contours in their brow, eyelids, midface, jaw line, neck and other areas.

A Facelift is designed to lift, smooth, firm and reverse the visible signs of facial aging. By correcting sagging facial skin and muscles, removing excess fat, and restoring firmness, a Facelift can create a more youthful, rested, and vibrant appearance. If the signs of aging on your face bother you, an array of non-surgical and surgical treatments including laser and chemical skin resurfacing, injectables and fillers, contour threadlifts, microfat grafting, mini or "MACS" Cheek and Facelift, or a full "SMAS" Facelift, may be the right choice for you. When appropriately selected and applied, facial plastic surgery combined with adjunct treatments can result in a long-lasting, natural, and youthful look.

The following is a list of procedures available for facial rejuvenation starting from the least invasive and progressing to the most surgically involved procedure:

Chemical Peels and Microdermabrasion

Botox®, Restylane®, and other fillers Intense Pulse Light (IPL)

Fraxel Laser Skin Resurfacing

Radio-Frequency Skin Tightening (Titan® or Thermage®)

Autologous Micro Fat Graft Facial Augmentation

Mini Facelift, Mini Cheeklift

Endoscopic Mid Face and Cheek Lift Endoscopic and open Brow Lift Endotyne® Browlift (Minimal Incision) MACS Facelift SMAS Facelift

Neck Lift with Corsette Platysmaplasty Facial Bone Contouring and Augmentation (implants)

Necklift

For many people, the neck is the first area to show signs of aging such as weakened neck muscles that cause the appearance of "bands" around the neck. Frequently performed in conjunction with a Mid-Facelift or facial implants, a Neck Lift can improve an aging neck by significantly reducing the appearance of sagging skin under the jaw. Depending on each patient's individual needs, Neck Lift surgical procedures may be performed as an outpatient procedure using either local anesthesia, with deep sedation, or general anesthesia and may take 1.5 to 3 hours. Performed by the Dr. Corsette Platysmaplasty is an advanced Neck Lift technique, which allows for very significant improvements in neck and jawline contours.
