A Facelift with Cruise Plastic Surgery

A facelift is a cosmetic surgery that addresses visible signs of aging on your face and neck. It restores sagging skin, deep folds and creases, jowls, facial fat, and a double chin. When is the right time to consider a cosmetic facelift with Cruise Plastic Surgery? During your consultation with Dr. Cruise, he will listen to your concerns, evaluate your face, and provide his expert opinion so you can make an educated decision as to when the best time is for you to have a facelift. 

Facelift Procedure Details

A traditional facelift procedure requires incisions around the ears, hairline, and sometimes under the chin. The underlying tissues, muscles, and other structures in your face and neck are then tightened, and excess skin is removed.  At the same time, fat can be harvested from your body such as the abdomen and hips, followed by placing it in areas of the face that have lost volume. Additionally, those with excess fat along the jawline, under the chin, and in the neck, can have it removed via liposuction for a more sculpted appearance.

Candidates for a Facelift

Ideal candidates for a facelift procedure include those in generally good health with realistic expectations of what surgery can address. Good candidates will have excess sagging skin. There may also be excess fat or depleted fat in the face and neck areas. The best way to determine if you are a good candidate for a facelift is through an in-depth consultation with Dr. Cruise.
