Look Younger And Gain Confidence With Los Gatos, CA Face Lift Surgery
As we age, our skin loses elasticity, the facial bones shrink, and there’s less fat underneath the skin to give it a full, youthful appearance. Natural aging, plus the ravages of sun, too much sugar, and alcohol or smoking, causes deep wrinkles and sagging around the jawline, giving the appearance of jowls or a double chin. When an otherwise active and healthy person looks into the mirror, there’s a jarring feeling, a dissonance that saps our self-confidence and lowers our self-esteem. We want an outer appearance that matches our inner vitality. Botox and fillers don’t deliver the permanent solution that Los Gatos, CA face lift surgery would.
Dr. Kirk A. Churukian, a board-certified California plastic surgeon, can help you look years younger with a facelift. We emphasize natural results that make you look like a younger you, as if you just got a week’s worth of great sleep, instead of an over-stretched or unnatural appearance. Our professional clinical team provides a warm, welcoming patient environment and superior medical care. If you believe that a face lift is the right option for you, please contact our clinic for a personalized consultation for your surgery.
Look Ten Years Younger With A Facelift
A rhytidectomy, or facelift, is one of the most dramatic types of facial plastic surgery. Many of our patients look at least a decade younger after their face and neck lift (although everyone’s results differ). It’s the most effective procedure for addressing sagging jowls and a double chin or “turkey neck,” it is appropriate for both men and women.
The procedure reduces sagging around the lower face and jawline by repositioning the underlying face, jaw, and neck muscles back into their original position. Excess skin and fat are removed, and the muscles are tightened for a firmer appearance. The skin lays flatter and smoother, helping reduce or eliminate fine lines and wrinkles. Most people see a much more refined jawline, tauter skin across the cheeks and forehead, and less drooping around the eyes.
Compared to shorter techniques, the full facelift lasts much longer and, with proper aftercare, can leave you looking fresher and younger for well over a decade. We restore the tone to the delicate muscles around the face and neck while preserving the nerve endings to maintain your sensitivity and feeling. For extensive rejuvenation without the constant maintenance that Botox and other injectables require, a facelift is the best option.
Am I A Good Candidate For A Facelift?
Every person’s face is different, so for a few people, a facelift simply isn’t a viable option. However, our surgeons use industry-leading techniques and have been professionally trained and board-certified, allowing us to perform this procedure on virtually all viable candidates.
In your initial consultation, we evaluate your bone structure, the soft tissue covering your facial bones, and your skin, including the dermis beneath. We also consider your age, skin type, lifestyle (including your exercise habits and habits like smoking or drinking alcohol), and ethnic background. All of these factors impact the final result of a face and neck lift.
In general, you’re a good candidate for rhytidectomy if you are between the ages of 30 and 80, your desired result is significant facial tightening and rejuvenation, and you have excess fat and skin in the lower face and neck. You can find out for sure if you’re a good candidate for a Los Gatos face lift surgery by contacting the offices of Dr. Kirk A. Churukian for a personal consultation. Please call today.
