There are three tried and true surgical options to eliminate years off your look instantly, achieving a youthful look that enhances your natural features.

Facelift
One of the most common facial rejuvenation options, a facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure performed by cosmetic professionals to improve signs of aging on your face. Areas of focus often include:
• Skin sagging throughout the cheeks and jaw
• Excess fat and around the chin and neck
• Deepened skin folds around the nose and mouth
• Bags under the eyes
• Excess skin due to fat loss in the entirety of the face
Neck Lift
Similar to the goals of a facelift, a neck lift focuses its attention on the skin and fat throughout the neck and chin area only, aiming to bring back a more youthful appearance. Also called a platysmaplasty, its primary goal is to reduce and eliminate signs of aging on the neck area, such as wrinkles, sagging skin, or jowls. Results of a neck lift include a smoother, more defined neckline.
Eyelid Lift
Blepharoplasty, or eyelid lift, is a surgical procedure performed to remove excess skin from the eyelids and reduce the signs of eyes bags below the lower lid. Often performed for cosmetic reasons, eyelid lifts can also be considered medical when performed on older adults to improve their overall vision. Most patients who opt-in to eyelid lift surgery are 35 years and older. Results include more youthful skin around the eyes and reduced signs of lifestyle and environmental factors.

Facial rejuvenation options can take years off your skin.

One of the main goals of facial rejuvenation surgery is to restore your youthful appearance while highlighting your already-there natural assets. However, over time, youthful contours in the face, cheeks, eyes, and neck can fade due to various factors, including sun damage, smoking, genetics, stress, thinning skin, or a change in facial fat.

Facelifts, eyelid lifts, and neck lifts are all wonderful options for those looking to restore their appearance naturally and subtly without drastically changing their overall facial structure.
