What you need to know about a facelift
A facelift is a facial plastic surgery procedure where a doctor removes excess facial fat, tightens facial muscles, and redrapes the skin of the face. These treatments result in a more youthful appearance. As we age, our skin becomes less elastic, particularly around and on the face. When loose skin on the neck or sagging skin around the jaw line becomes too unflattering or noticeable, a facelift can help. A facelift can dramatically smooth out the facial skin and improve our appearance.
Results from a facelift
There are facial plastic surgery treatments that can smooth surface wrinkles, however, only a facelift can tighten jowls, sagging facial skin, loose skin and double chins. Dr. M. Sean Freeman, Charlotte’s best facial plastic surgeon performs facelifts on both men and women. Before he will agree to perform a facelift, Dr. Freeman will meet with the patient to evaluate their facial skin and bone structure and discuss the patient’s goals from surgery.
Good candidates for a facelift
It is important to remember that a facelift cannot stop the aging process. What a facelift does is reduce or eliminate sagging skin on the face and neck, making you appear younger and refreshed. It is important that you understand that a facelift will not change your overall appearance. You should have realistic expectations for your facelift procedure. It may help restore your self-esteem and make you feel more confident about your appearance. The best candidates for a facelift are in good health, have realistic expectation about the surgery, are psychologically stable, and have good bone structure and skin elasticity.
