Understanding the Effects of Aging on Facial Volume
As we age, our skin can lose between 20-80% of its volume due to reduced production of collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans in the dermis. This leads to a loss of facial volume, causing the skin to sag and lose its elasticity over time. The youthful triangular focus of the face gradually shifts to a squarer shape.
Combat Aging with a Facelift
You don’t have to let aging diminish your youthful appearance. A skilled, board-certified cosmetic surgeon can help counteract the effects of gravity and time, restoring the naturally vibrant look you once enjoyed. Commonly known as a facelift, rhytidectomy is a procedure designed to remove facial wrinkles (“rhytid” means wrinkle and “-ectomy” means removal). It addresses the early signs of aging before they become pronounced.
What is Facelift Surgery?
Facelift surgery, or rhytidectomy, is a procedure that lifts and firms sagging facial tissues to restore a more naturally youthful appearance. This surgery helps patients achieve a younger look by reversing the signs of aging on the face.
Expected Results of a Facelift
- Lifting and removal of excess loose skin on the lower face to prevent jowl formation
- Tightening and lifting of underlying muscles and soft tissue, restoring the cheeks and jawline to a healthier, more youthful position and contour
- Reduction in the appearance of deep wrinkles
