The CURRENT Face and Necklift
A facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the face by addressing signs of aging such as sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and loss of facial volume.
What is a CURRENT lift?
The CURRENT lift is a highly specialized type of facelift that is a permanent solution for aging of the face and neck. A variety of factors causes facial aging – and extra skin is only a small part of this.
The face has ligaments that hold structures in place and aging causes drooping of skin and soft tissue around these ligaments, leading to deep wrinkles such as “smile lines”. Dr. Novis believes that natural face-lifting must involve tightening and repositioning these ligaments to create a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Dr. Novis performs a version of the extended deep plane facelift under local anesthesia to give maximal results with minimal downtime
Am I a candidate for a facelift?
The best candidates for face and neck lift surgery are those that observe surplus neck skin, diminished definition of the jawline, the emergence of jowls or sagging skin around the mouth, and accentuated “smile lines”.
There is no definitive age determining candidacy for a face and necklift. Dr. Novis advises, “It’s appropriate to address an issue when it begins to affect you”.
