Facelift is one of the most frequently performed procedures at our Salt Lake City, Utah office. Our cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Brent D. Kennedy, has performed hundreds of facelift procedures over the years for patients who began to notice that the appearance of their face didn’t necessarily match their youthful attitude. Many of our facelift patients notice that their skin has lost its elasticity, and that repeated facial movements have left deep furrows in their forehead, around their eyes, and other areas of the face. The results of a facelift will leave you looking younger and refreshed. If you live in Salt Lake City or elsewhere in Utah, and are considering facelift or another cosmetic surgery procedure, contact The Institute of Facial and Cosmetic Surgery today.
The goal of a facelift performed at our Salt Lake City, Utah practice is to restore the youthful appearance of the face and neck by reducing or entirely eliminating lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin on the face and neck to produce natural looking results. Incisions for facelift are primarily placed within the hairline along the scalp to minimize scar visibility.
During a facelift, excess skin is removed from both the face and the neck. Deeper connective tissues are tightened to provide a complete lift that will look smoother and more natural, and have longer-lasting results. Dr. Kennedy performs facelift surgery meticulously and is careful to avoid distortion of the mouth and other facial structures to achieve a more natural appearance that is not overly tight. If necessary, during a facelift Dr. Kennedy will also perform platysmaplasty, or a neck lift, to smooth and tighten the muscle that surrounds the deeper structures of the neck, and to reduce the appearance of jowls and bands.
A facelift performed at our Salt Lake City, Utah practice can take years off your appearance. Our surgeon is familiar with all aspects of facial and cosmetic surgery, has years of experience in facelift surgery, and has dedicated his life to enhancing the appearance of his patients. During the procedure, your “crow’s feet” will be smoothed, and the sagging skin below the chin will be lifted and tightened to follow the contours of your bone structure. The lines between your nose and your mouth will also be eliminated or greatly reduced during the facelift procedure. At The Institute for Facial and Plastic Surgery in Salt Lake City, Utah, we assure you that the results will not leave you with an unnatural, "tight" look. After a facelift performed by our expert surgeon, you will have the look of a younger, more rested version of yourself.
Other facial cosmetic surgery procedures are frequently performed in conjunction with a facelift to enhance the treatment, and create a more dramatic, comprehensive result:
Because aging of the face and neck may result in a loss of facial volume, facial implants can be used to restore volume and more naturally rounded contours to the cheeks (cheek implants) and chin area. Chin implants can also be added during facelift to help restore a youthful jawline, to enhance a weak chin, or to improve poor chin-to-neck contours.
Aging greatly affects lip volume and structure. Our patients frequently complain that their once-full lips seem to have disappeared. Lip augmentation is performed to restore youthful lip volume and contours, giving you a full, kissable pout.
Dermabrasion may be performed on the area surrounding the mouth to erase or diminish the appearance of wrinkles and lines that originate at the lips. Dermabrasion rejuvenates the skin by encouraging cell turnover and bringing newer, elastin-rich skin to the surface. This is a perfect procedure for patients that are completing their facelift recovery and would like a quick treatment to improve their overall skin texture and appearance.
Frequently, the facial skin can become damaged by sun exposure or smoking, causing irregularities such as age spots and fine wrinkles. Depending on the condition of the skin, we offer a wide range of skin rejuvenation options to improve the tone, texture, and overall condition of skin, such as, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, professional skin care products, and a variety of solutions for reducing the appearance of wrinkles. After your facelift is complete, a skin rejuvenation treatment may improve the texture, color, and feel of your face.
To rejuvenate the appearance of the eyes, Dr. Kennedy can perform an eyelid lift (blepharoplasty), which can eliminate sagging eyelids and improve the appearance of droopy lower lids. By removing excess skin and fat around the eyes, Dr. Brent D. Kennedy can address bags and droopiness around the eyes that can make patients appear older than they truly are. Blepharoplasty, combined with a facelift, can give you the beautiful, more youthful look you desire.
A brow lift can elevate the brow line and gently lift the upper eyelids to a more youthful position. The procedure can be performed to smooth horizontal wrinkling along the forehead and deep creases between the eyebrows as well.
A facelift may give you the more youthful look you desire by smoothing the wrinkles and fine lines on your face.
