Understanding Facial Aging and Rejuvenation

As individuals age, natural changes in facial tissues can impact self-confidence and appearance. The Plastic Surgery Center of Hampton Roads offers personalized facelift surgeries designed to restore a youthful, refreshed aesthetic.

What is a Facelift?

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a sophisticated cosmetic procedure addressing multiple signs of facial aging. The surgery targets weakened underlying tissues and sagging skin to create a smoother, more youthful contour.

Conditions Addressed by Facelift Surgery

• Sagging skin on face and neck
• Deep wrinkles and fine lines
• Loss of facial definition
• Jowls and neck laxity
• Marionette lines

Types of Facelift Procedures

Standard Facelift

A comprehensive approach addressing multiple facial aging signs through carefully placed incisions near the hairline and ears. This technique tightens muscles and removes excess skin for a firmer appearance.

SMAS Facelift

Targeting deeper facial tissues, the SMAS facelift provides more extensive rejuvenation by lifting and repositioning the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) layer.

Lower Facelift

Specifically designed to rejuvenate the lower face, including the jawline and neck, this procedure addresses sagging and loss of definition in targeted areas.

Mini Facelift

A less invasive option ideal for patients with mild aging signs, offering quicker recovery and more subtle facial rejuvenation.
