Understanding Facial Aging in West Des Moines

Sagging skin of the jowls and neck can be influenced by multiple factors including sun exposure, heredity, smoking, and individual skin characteristics. Board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Brent Koch and Dr. Cody Koch specialize in reversing these aging signs through advanced facelift techniques.

Facelift Expertise in Iowa

Koch & Carlisle Plastic Surgery offers extensive facial rejuvenation experience, performing more than 200 facelifts annually for patients throughout central Iowa, including Ankeny, Ames, and Davenport.

Types of Facelift Procedures

Mini Facelift (S-Lift)

  • Rejuvenates lower 1/3 of face and neck
  • Less invasive than deep plane facelift
  • Best for mild to moderate facial aging
  • Recovery: 3-5 days
  • Return to work: 5-7 days

Deep Plane Facelift

  • Comprehensive facial rejuvenation
  • Addresses cheeks, nasolabial folds, jawline, and neck
  • More extensive tissue repositioning

Procedure Goals

  • Decrease premature wrinkles
  • Increase skin elasticity
  • Improve overall facial appearance

Customized Facial Rejuvenation

The extent of facial transformation depends on individual tissue sagging and patient goals. Some patients opt for earlier interventions for subtle refreshment, while others seek more dramatic results.

Cost Considerations

Facelift pricing varies based on procedure complexity and individual aesthetic objectives. A comprehensive consultation will provide a detailed, personalized quote tailored to your specific needs.

Advanced Surgical Techniques

Modern facelift techniques focus on natural-looking results, carefully repositioning deeper tissues and draping skin to achieve a refreshed, youthful appearance without an overdone look.

Complementary Procedures

Patients may enhance their facial rejuvenation by combining facelift with procedures such as:

  • Brow lift
  • Eyelid surgery
  • Facial liposuction

Alternative Options

For patients with less advanced aging, nonsurgical treatments like injectable fillers and BOTOX can provide temporary facial rejuvenation.

I would only go to the best for any procedure on my face, and I'm glad I got in with Dr. Koch. He clearly works well with his office staff to provide an outstanding surgical experience from beginning to end - they answered every question with patience and authority. My upper and lower blepharoplasty looks amazing. Dr. Koch discreetly took 5-7 years off my face, and followed up personally to make sure I was comfortable with the results. I'm thrilled!

I could go on and on about my experience with Cody and his lovely staff! I first heard mention of Koch Facial Plastic Surgery while working in the dermatology field as a nurse. Both Dermatology PC, and Heartland Dermatologist would send complex facial closures to Cody to be repaired. This speaks VOLUMES when it comes to talent! When I was ready to have work done, I KNEW who I wanted to do it! Cody and his staff didn’t disappoint!! I am in love with my results!! Furthermore, I especially appreciate the prompt response I get from both Cody and his girls that work with him. It’s a blessing to have such an amazing team of experts to turn to when I need it!!! Thank you!!!!!
