Facelift in DuBois, PA

Regardless of your aesthetic concerns, there are numerous facelifts available to help you meet your goals. Some facelifts address the upper portion of the face while others focus on the middle and lower. In addition, some methods are slightly more invasive and intricate than others. It is also common for some patients to have a brow lift, BOTOX®, or fillers to complement their results. Some of the more known facelift methods include:

• Full Facelift: A common surgery for older adults, the full facelift usually has an incision near the hairline, extending down to the temples, and reaching the base of the ears. The deeper layer of facial tissues and muscles is delicately pulled and securely tightened to create a lifted appearance, reducing excessive loose skin and droopy features. The traditional facelift is reserved for patients who show signs of advanced aging. With this lift, various facial rejuvenation methods may be used, including blepharoplasty to address the eyes or neck reduction for the lower region.
• Mid-Facelift: The mid-facelift focuses on the hollow and lax areas near the cheekbones, as well as the upper jaw. This lift works nicely for those who seek improvement in the lower two-thirds of the face, which also includes the jowls.
• Lower Facelift: This particular facelift corrects the neck and chin and sometimes the jowls. Nonsurgical methods, such as laser skin tightening or KYBELLA®, can also be used for chin augmentation to attain a younger, tighter-looking neck.
• Mini Facelift: When undergoing a mini facelift, a tiny incision is placed around the ears to lift the skin, which enhances the mid to lower face. This process creates subtle improvements that look natural.
