What Is a Facelift?
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a plastic surgery procedure that can refresh and enhance the facial appearance through:
• Skin excision
• Fat repositioning and/or removal
• Muscle tightening
Dr. Reichner is skilled and experienced in multiple facelift techniques, allowing him to customize each patient’s procedure to their facial features, the degree of facial aging present, and their aesthetic goals. During your consultation, Dr. Reichner will examine your facial structure and tissues and listen to your concerns to determine which surgical techniques will best fit your needs. Neck lift surgery is often paired with facelift surgery to achieve the most harmonious and comprehensive results possible.
Am I a Candidate for a Facelift?
Candidates for facelift surgery have moderate to severe signs of facial aging, such as deep facial wrinkles and creases, sagging cheeks, and jowls. Candidates should be in good overall health, be non-smokers or willing to quit smoking for at least one month before and after surgery, and must have realistic expectations for the outcome of their procedure.
