What is a facelift?
A Refreshed Lower Face. Natural to You.
A facelift repositions tissues that have descended in the lower face and removes selected excess skin. We address the supporting layers beneath the skin as well as the skin itself. The operation is planned around your natural features, the degree of laxity and the jawline you would like to restore.
