Face Lift Danville, CA | Elliott B. Lavey, MD

Understanding the Face Lift Procedure

A face lift is a sophisticated surgical technique designed to restore youthful contours to the cheeks and neck. As individuals age, skin loses elasticity, causing cheek descent, jowl formation, and loss of facial volume. The procedure strategically addresses these age-related changes by repositioning skin, fat, and underlying muscular structures.

Key Aging Facial Changes Addressed

• Descending cheek tissues
• Formation of inner cheek folds
• Jowl development
• Loss of mid-facial volume
• Neck contour degradation

• Strategic incision placement in scalp and ear creases

• Potential muscle layer tightening
• Volume restoration through fat grafting or dermal fillers

Ideal Candidates for Face Lift Surgery

Face lift candidates range from 38 to 90 years old, with individual aging rates varying based on genetics, skincare, and personal aesthetic goals. Factors such as overall health, skin condition, and aesthetic expectations determine procedural suitability.

Preparation and Recovery

Successful face lift outcomes require careful preoperative preparation. Patients should stabilize blood pressure, discontinue smoking, avoid specific medications, and maintain a balanced lifestyle. Recovery involves gradual healing, with initial improvements visible within weeks and final results developing over approximately one year.
