Aging gracefully involves embracing the changes that come with time, but it does not mean we have to accept them without options. In today’s world of advanced cosmetic surgery, there are various procedures available to address the signs of aging and achieve a youthful, refreshed appearance. At the practice of Joseph J. Rousso, MD, FACS, we specialize in combining multiple facial lift procedures to provide comprehensive rejuvenation tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Here are five facial lift procedures that can be combined for overall facial rejuvenation.
1. Neck Lift
A neck lift, also known as a lower rhytidectomy, targets sagging skin and excess fat in the neck area. As we age, the skin on the neck can lose elasticity and develop wrinkles, folds, and bands, leading to the appearance of a “turkey neck” or “double chin.” A neck lift can address these concerns by tightening the underlying muscles, removing excess skin and fat, and smoothing out wrinkles and creases, resulting in a more defined and youthful neck contour.
2. Facelift
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to address signs of aging in the lower face and jawline. It can improve sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and loss of facial volume, restoring a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. During a facelift, excess skin is removed, facial muscles are tightened, and underlying tissues are repositioned to create a smoother, firmer and more lifted jawline, upper neck and lower face.
3. Cheek Lift
A cheek lift, also known as a midface lift or cheek augmentation, targets sagging cheeks and hollowing in the midface area. It can enhance cheek volume, restore youthful cheek contours, and reduce the appearance of nasolabial folds and under-eye hollows. A cheek lift can be performed using various techniques, including surgical lifting, fat grafting, or cheek implants, depending on the patient’s specific goals and anatomy.
4. Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty)
An eyelid lift, or blepharoplasty, addresses sagging eyelids, under-eye bags and excess skin around the eyes. It can rejuvenate the appearance of the eyes, making them appear more youthful, alert, and refreshed. During an eyelid lift, excess skin and fat are removed from the upper and/or lower eyelids, and the remaining tissues are tightened and smoothed to create a more vibrant and youthful eye contour.
5. Brow Lift
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, targets sagging brows, forehead wrinkles and frown lines. It can elevate the brows, smooth out forehead wrinkles, and open up the eyes, creating a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. A brow lift can be performed using various techniques, including traditional surgery, endoscopic surgery, or minimally invasive procedures such as Botox injections or laser resurfacing.
Combining Multiple Procedures for Comprehensive Rejuvenation
While each facial lift procedure can deliver significant improvements on its own, combining multiple procedures can provide comprehensive rejuvenation and address multiple signs of aging simultaneously. By customizing treatment plans to target specific areas of concern, Dr. Joseph J. Rousso can help patients achieve harmonious and natural-looking results that enhance their overall facial appearance.
