Facelifts

The formation of loose, wrinkled skin, the development of forehead lines and crow’s feet at the corner of the eye, the softening of the jaw line to form jowls, and the appearance of a double chin or vertical neck folds are all part of the aging process of the face. Sun exposure, gravity, smoking, and the loss of elastic fibers in the skin contribute to these problems.
During your pre-surgical consultation, Dr. Stosich will ask you questions regarding your vision, tear production, and use of contact lenses. Your age, skin type, ethnicity and degree of vision obstruction will also be discussed, although impaired vision is not a pre-requisite for having this procedure performed.

A facelift is performed in our surgical suite under general anesthesia. Incisions are made in the hairline at the temple area, and continued around the ear lobe, well camouflaged within the ear crease. Dr. Stosich then repositions your skin, muscle and other tissues. Excess skin will be trimmed and fat may be removed. The incisions are then closed. You will see immediate results.
