Face Lift

As we get older the natural ageing process takes its toll on all of us. Our skin may lose its firmness, giving a sagging appearance or cause creases to deepen, and the jaw and neck line to slacken. The increasing droop of the forehead and eyebrows can also have an effect on the appearance of the upper eyelids. A face lift , also known as a rhytidectomy, is becoming a more and more popular way to restore a naturally youthful look to your face and neck. We also offer eyelid reshaping which achieves a younger, more wide-awake look around your eyes.

The facelift

As part of the aging process which happens to all of us sooner or late, our skin progressively loses its elasticity and our muscles tend to slacken. The stresses of daily life, effects of gravity and exposure to sun can be seen on our faces. The folds and smile lines deepen, the corners of the mouth droop, the jaw line sags and the skin of the neck becomes slack. Around the eyes, the eyebrows droop and the skin of the eyelids gathers in loose folds. In the skin the first sign is fine wrinkles developing around the lips, at the outer corners of the eye and lines of expression. The rate at which this happens varies from one person to another and is probably determined by our genes. Ageing of the skin of the face does not necessarily reflect the rate that the rest of our body and mind is ageing and many people feel frustrated that the face they see in the mirror is not the one they feel should be there. Substantial weight loss can produce similar changes in facial appearance to those of the ageing process.
