As the years pass by, have you noticed that your face looks tired, less vibrant, and significantly older?  Are there folds and creases around your nose and mouth, a loss of muscle tone in the lower face, or loose skin and fatty deposits under the jaw that make you appear to have a ‘double chin’?  If so, you may have been thinking about how you can restore your youthful appearance. A facelift may be the answer you are looking for. 

A facelift (rhytidectomy) is a surgical procedure that will improve visible signs of aging in the face and neck.  A facelift corrects sagging facial skin and muscles, removes excess fat, and restores firmness to create a more rested and vibrant appearance. In the past, patients were concerned that they would have a ‘plastic’ or pulled look after surgery. That is no longer the case. We take an artistic approach to personalize the surgery for each individual. Often, no one can tell that you have had a facelift, yet you can look up to ten years younger and look younger naturally. The average facelift done today lasts 10 to 15 years and follow-up procedures can be performed to keep you looking as good as you can for even many more years.

How old is the average facelift patient? Some may be as young as 40 to 45 years old. Dr. Martini has been performing this minilift to restore a youthful look, with minimal incisions combined with sound structural restoration. This rejuvenation can be considered for those just starting to feel the loss of their youthful edge. Dr. Martini performs other facelift surgeries tailored to fit the needs of the patient at various stages of aging. For example, a 70-year-old with good skin tone can frequently experience a satisfying result.
