Are the effects of gravity, sun exposure, and an active lifestyle causing creases and wrinkles on your face? Do you look older than you feel, or have a tired look? Then a facelift may be a good option to help you look and feel better.

The facelift is a common and popular cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat, tighten facial muscles, and reposition the facial skin for a restored and refreshed appearance. It can give you a whole new outlook on life.

The best candidates for facelifts have some skin elasticity. Patients in the 40-60 year age group fit this requirement, but older patients can also achieve excellent results. A facelift can correct wrinkling caused by loose and sagging skin, jowls in the lower cheek area and skin folds in the neck. They are often performed in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures, such as a blepharoplasty (eyelift) and facial liposuction.

Thermage, laser resurfacing, Botox and collagen are also excellent treatment additions to the facelift procedure.

For individuals with signs of early facial aging, the Aptos Threadlift may be the perfect solution to a refreshed, more youthful appearance. Sometimes called the 'lunchtime lift', the Aptos Threads procedure offers far less downtime than the traditional facelift, with no incisions and using only local anesthetic. Aptos Threads can be combined with other surgical or non-surgical techniques, including facial and neck liposuction, eyelid surgery, chemical peels or laser procedures.
