Facial Rejuvenation
This operation is designed to rejuvenate the lower face, jaw line and neck. The skin of the cheek and neck are elevated and tightened. The extra skin is removed and the entire incision is closed in a meticulous fashion using fine sutures. No staples are used. The final incision will be hidden within the contours of the ear and within the hairline.
It is crucial to understand the prerequisites and limitations of a facial rejuvenation before undergoing the procedure. Many factors can impact results, such as skin type, ethnic background, how much skin elasticity remains, bone structure and the rate at which a particular individual heals. Although this procedure can be performed on the young and old, anyone aged 50 or older should undergo a thorough physical examination before committing to a facelift. An underlying medical condition, such as diabetes or depression does not rule out a facelift. However, such conditions must be well under control. Dr. Yellin will determine if you're a candidate and will help you set realistic expectations.
