Advanced Facelift in Provo, UT | Dr. Elise Mecham

Understanding Facelift Surgery

A facelift is a surgical procedure designed to improve visible signs of facial aging. The treatment addresses multiple concerns including sagging skin, deep fold lines between the nose and mouth, lost facial volume, and loose neck skin that can create a double chin appearance.

It is important to understand that a facelift does not fundamentally alter your appearance, but rather provides strategic rejuvenation through surgical techniques.

Ideal Candidates for Facelift Surgery

Prime candidates for a facelift procedure typically include:

• Healthy individuals without medical conditions that impair healing
• Non-smokers
• Patients with realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Comprehensive Consultation Process

During the initial consultation, Dr. Mecham conducts a thorough evaluation that includes:

• Discussing surgical goals and expectations
• Reviewing medical history and current health status
• Examining and measuring facial structures
• Recommending personalized treatment approaches
