Facelift For Dallas

(See also Eyelid , Browlift , Laser Resurfacing , Skin Care , Restylane , Botox , Microdermabrasion )

As we age, it's normal to wish for a more youthful appearance. A younger appearance can be achieved without surgery using Microdermabrasion along with Botox and injectables, such as Restylane or deep chemical peels. Sculptra is a newer option which involves the widespread injection of a material which restores volume to the thinning face. Surgical options are usually more dramatic and thorough and include blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), browlift, facelift, or laser resurfacing. Laser and deep peels such as Phenol Chemical Peels work best for fine lines, sun damage, skin irregularity and mild laxity of the cheeks. Laser and chemical resurfacing involve peeling away the aged superficial layers of skin, revealing a smooth inner layer once the healing process is complete. Many patients choose resurfacing just the eye area or lip area for "lipstick lines." As the baby boomer generation ages, facial rejuvenation procedures including facelift surgery in Dallas are on the rise.

While superficial and deep resurfacing work nicely on finer lines, only facelift surgery will correct a sagging neck, jowls and severely loose facial skin. Many times the two procedures are combined. The latest trend is a mini facelift. In Dallas , and beyond, many patients want to tighten loose skin as well as re-support the internal fat and muscles which sag with time. Facelifting can also tighten loose neck skin, sculpt away neck fat and improve the bands which are seen in the aging neck. Dallas facelift surgery is advanced and addresses the lower two-thirds of the face structuring the internal layers of fat and muscle. Eyelid surgery and browlift address the eyes and forehead. Eyelid surgery and browlifts are commonly performed with a facelift.

At the Plastic Surgery Center of Dallas, facelift surgery options include many possible incisions, and the choice depends on the preexisting skin lines, wrinkles and hair pattern as well as beard pattern in men. Sometimes the incision curves along the hairline and sometimes part of the incision is hidden in the scalp.  The incision may curve in front of the ear or go inside it (retrotragal). Our consultations for a facelift in Dallas are very detailed to plan the best options for each individual.
