Facelifts


Mini-Facelift

This (2 hour) outpatient procedure is performed to correct lower face drooping at the jaw line and improve jowls. 


Mid-Facelift

This (2 hour) outpatient procedure is performed to re-lift mid-face drooping in the cheek area, as a result of aging and the effects of gravity.  


Full-Facelift

This (3-4 hour) procedure is performed to soften deep creases between the nose and mouth, jowls, and loose neck skin by redraping the skin of your face and neck. Individual circumstances determine if the full-facelift is done as an in- or an out-patient. 

Side effects can include:  hematoma (a collection of blood under the skin), injury to the nerves that control facial muscles, infection, and reactions to the anesthesia.
