Our face is our most visible feature, one that through expression and appearance conveys what and how we feel. Facial aging includes loss of skin elasticity and firmness, sagging tissue and wrinkles. These visible signs of aging can greatly impact how we feel about ourselves and how others see us. Even a person who is energetic and excited about life can appear tired or sad due to aging in the midface, jaw line and neck. The loss of youthful contours in these areas is due to a variety of factors including heredity, gravity, environmental conditions and stress.
A facelift is a surgical procedure to improve the visible signs of aging in the face and neck. Sagging in the midface can create deep creases below the lower eyelids (called a tear trough) and between the nose and mouth that may make you appear tired and sad. Fat that has fallen or is displaced and loss of muscle tone in the lower face may create jowls (a jaw line that sags into the neck). Loose skin and excess fatty deposits under the chin and jaw can make even a person of normal weight appear to have a "double chin."
A facelift done by Dr. Colony is designed to correct all these aging features, restoring a more youthful, rested appearance. A facelift does not change your fundamental appearance, and although a facelift does not stop the aging process, aging will develop from the more youthful version of you that has been restored. Rejuvenation procedures typically performed with a facelift include a brow lift, which corrects the sagging or deeply furrowed brow, and eyelid surgery to refresh aging eyes.
If you are bothered by the signs of aging in your face, one of Dr. Colony's facelift options may be right for you. In general, a facelift corrects sagging facial skin and muscles, removes excess fat and restores firmness to create a more youthful, rested and vibrant appearance.
