Facelift in Milford, CT
Sick of people saying you look tired when you've just had a good night's sleep? It may be time to contact Milford Medical and Aesthetic Care about a facelift. Facelifts are one of the most common plastic surgery procedures to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles and tighten sagging skin, giving you a younger-looking face. Also called the rhytidectomy, this time-honored surgery addresses signs of aging on the face and neck such as:
- Eye area creases
- Sagging jaw line and neck skin
- Folds and lines around the lips and nose
- A "double chin" not associated with weight gain
What a Facelift Targets
Dr. Paul Fischer of Milford Medical and Aesthetic Care performs facelift procedures to improve facial aesthetics challenged by time, sun exposure, heredity, stress and cigarette smoking. While not addressing forehead or eyelid sagging and wrinkling, a facelift fixes problems of the neck and mid-face area. This procedure is performed in-office, leaving patients with a rejuvenated look. You can look like you, only better-rested and refreshed!
Facelift Procedure
Dr. Fischer will choose a facelift surgery that will successfully achieve the patient's goals. Typically, the procedure falls into 3 categories:
- Neck lift for double chins, sagging necklines and jowls
- Traditional facelift or full face lift to trim, sculpt and lift sagging skin and muscles
- Limited facelift for smoothing creases around the nose and mouth
The procedures involve incisions hidden around the hairline and ear, depending on surgical objective. They typically heal quickly and fade very well over time. Dr. Fischer carefully evaluates patients interested in facelifts, assessing their medical and surgical history, medications and aesthetic goals. It's important that individuals realize that a facelift is not the fountain of youth. Rather, it successfully addresses unsightly signs of aging, conferring a truly rejuvenated look that lasts upwards of 10 years when combined with a healthy lifestyle.
