Facelift Procedures at Prime Esthetics
A facelift, medically known as a rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure to rejuvenate and enhance the appearance of the facial and neck areas. At Prime Esthetics, our facelift surgeries are tailored to individual needs, focusing on:
- Removing surplus facial skin.
- Tightening underlying facial structures.
- Redraping the skin for a smoother, more youthful look.
This surgery can effectively reduce signs of aging like wrinkles, sagging skin, and jowls. We utilize various facelift techniques tailored to each patient’s specific objectives and our surgeons’ expertise.
Facelift Techniques at Prime Esthetics
- Our surgeons perform facelifts under general anesthesia, selecting the most suitable technique for each patient’s unique facial structure and aesthetic goals.
Traditional Facelift:
This comprehensive approach involves incisions starting at the hairline, around the ear, and ending in the lower scalp. It lifts and tightens the skin and addresses significant aging signs in the face and neck.
Limited Incision Facelift:
Also known as a “mini facelift,” this technique uses smaller incisions, usually around the ear. It suits patients with moderate aging signs and offers a quicker recovery with less scarring.
Neck Lift:
This procedure, focusing on the neck and jawline, is designed to correct issues like loose skin and jowls. Incisions are typically made around the ear, extending into the lower scalp.
Mid-Face Lift:
Targeting the cheeks and lower eyelids, this method lifts and repositions fat and tissues to restore volume and reduce nasolabial folds.
SMAS Facelift:
This technique tightens the Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System layer, addressing muscle sagging and wrinkles for a youthful appearance.
Deep Plane Facelift:
A more intensive procedure, this addresses deeper facial tissues for natural, long-lasting results, though it may require a longer recovery.
Our skilled plastic surgeons at Prime Esthetics may combine or customize these techniques to ensure the best outcome for each patient.
