facelift male Los Angeles CA
A facelift is an operation that elevates and redrapes the facial skin and muscles to eliminate laxity and sagging. Time and gravity take their toll. Tissues lose their youthful tone and sag, the neck sags and becomes flabby (also called a turkey neck or turkey wattle), laugh lines or nasolabial folds deepen, and jowls appear. A face lift can't stop this aging process. What it can do is "set back the clock," improving the most visible signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and redraping the skin of your face and neck, thereby removing jowls and tightening a flabby neck or turkey neck. A facelift - necklift can be done alone, or in conjunction with other procedures such as a forehead lift, eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping.
This male patient had a facelift necklift with forehead lift and upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasties. Specific problems that need to be accounted for in men as opposed to women in performing a facelift are receding hairlines, the greater visibility of scars around the ears and the presence of facial hair. In this case a forehead lift was performed by excising skin between the naturally occuring horizontal forehead lines. Deeper facial fat was grafted over the bone rim under the eye thereby softening the lower eyelid cheek junction margin. The entire midface soft tissue was elevated using a subperiosteal approach where all the tissues are lifted and then reattach to the facial bones at a higher level.
The after photo was taken 2 years after the surgery which proves the results are lasting not fleeting.
