Facial Rejuvenation - Facelift - Rhytidectomy

“If it doesn’t look natural, it doesn’t look good.”

As people age, the effects of sun exposure, stress of daily life, and the consequences of the natural contractions of the muscles of facial expressions, can be seen in the skin of their faces and necks. Skin becomes less elastic, creating folds and lines. The baggy skin around the eyelids, the gradual loss of muscle tone, the lack of elasticity, and the changes in bone density are some of the determinant factors of loose skin under the chin and in the jaw area. A facelift is a sophisticated surgical procedure that may significantly reduce the signs of aging in your face and improve your appearance.

Changes resulting from the aging process do not occur from one day to another. They are the consequence of a gradual process. Facial rejuvenation surgery is usually performed in conjunction with other facial procedures. As a facelift is a highly individualized operation, your physician will design a singular procedure according to the shape of your face and profile and the dimensions of your face and bone structure. The results of a Rhytidectomy can improve your appearance and give you a look that can be dramatically younger or just make you look refreshed and well rested. Surgery may involve some carefully planned minor procedures or just one major surgery.

Rhytidectomy, Surgery and Post-operative Phase

Some procedures such as endoscopic brow lift surgery, upper and lower eyelid surgery, cheek surgery, facial contour (jaw line) treatment, and neck skin treatment are usually done on an out-patient basis, under carefully controlled anesthetic techniques. Dr. Espinosa routinely supervises personally the appropriate pre and post surgical care.
