Am I a good candidate for a facelift

Deep wrinkles in the cheeks & sagging of the "highlight" areas of the cheekbones.
Loose skin, wrinkles, vertical 'cords' or excess fatty tissue in the neck.
Sagging & drooping of eyebrows & eyelids with undereye bags.
A Facelift with Blepharoplasty can improve all of these problems.
Facial Rejuvenation Technique
An incision will be made in or around the hairline and just in front of the ear (where it meets the cheek). Doctor separates skin from musucle, where the fat layers lie between. Then the muscles & tissue, which are deeper within the face are sutured, which in turn tighten them.
This is commonly known as a SMAS lift. If there is excess skin or fat it is trimmed. Fine sutures or clips are used to bring the skin together. If there is loose skin, extra fat or muscle bulk in the neck region, this is also removed or repaired by a small incision made just underneath the chin. This incision is barely visible.
Upper & lower Blepharoplasty, Laser or Endobrowlift treatments may be performed in conjunction with this treatment, for an overall better result. Doctor will advise you if you are a suitable candidate for any of these surgery types.
