Facelift
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure which primarily tightens and lifts the lower face and neck. It allows for tightening of the underlying muscles and redraping of the skin after “excess” skin is removed, to give a lifted, refined contour to the neck and jawline. A mini facelift is for those who do not require as extensive tightening of the neck those with less skin laxity. A traditional facelift, whether full or mini, involves incisions of varying lengths and significant risks and downtime.
Some individuals desire the tightening of the neck and jawline which only a surgical facelift can provide, but many women (and men) are opting for a more natural and more rejuvenating result. This is accomplished though re-volumizing the face and tightening the skin. Without restoring youthful contours and fullness, tightening can lead to a pulled and skeletonized look instead of a rejuvenated look.
Dr. Nicole encourages “natural” facial rejuvenation, with her goal being to offer rejuvenation without an “operated look”. She does not perform traditional facelifts in her practice.
