Have you ever wished you could look as young as you feel? Have you noticed your facial skin sagging with the development of deep folds between the nose and mouth or below the corner’s of your mouth? If so, then a facelift may be the right choice for you.
Request a complimentary consultation with Dr. Palmer to learn about the boost in self-confidence that comes with facial rejuvenation.
In the past, face-lifts just tightened your skin, which often created a stretched appearance. With medical and procedural advances, it has become clear that the deep tissue layers must be addressed to achieve a long-lasting, natural-looking result. By sculpting the deeper layers, Dr. Palmer can rejuvenate your face, jaw line and neck without any noticeable signs that you’ve had “work done.”
Although aging is inevitable, a face-lift improves your overall appearance by:
You need look no further than our before and after photo gallery to see that results from face lift surgery by Dr. Palmer are remarkable. And while his results are dramatic, they are also completely natural looking.
It is critically important to choose a highly skilled doctor who understands that each patient is different and requires a customized approach. Dr. Palmer has a unique talent for achieving a younger-looking, refreshed appearance while maintaining your face’s unique character. In your initial consultation, he will perform a thorough examination of your facial shape, skin elasticity and bone structure to determine the approach that will work best for you.
Dr. Palmer performs facelift surgery in his in-office operative suite using a combination of IV sedation and local anesthetics.
An incision is made around the ear and hairline to insure optimum concealment of postoperative scars. The skin of the face is undermined to varying degrees depending on the degree of facial laxity. The tissue covering the facial muscles (known as the “SMAS”) is tightened with sutures. Excess skin is removed. CO2 resurfacing of the skin may be performed concurrently or at a later date. The patient is then sent home the same day when discharge criteria are met.
In your consultation, Dr. Palmer will discuss all of the factors that contribute to the success of your procedure including healing and expectations. If, at any point, you have questions or concerns, you’ll find that Dr. Palmer is a warm, engaging man who will stay connected with you throughout the process to ensure that you are thrilled with your result.
Though a facelift can be performed as a single procedure, Dr. Palmer may recommend combining it with another procedure to improve the overall rejuvenation of the face. Eyelid surgery, neck lift and laser skin resurfacing are frequently performed together. Combining these procedures is more convenient, more economical, and maximizes results.
