Face Lift in La Jolla, California

If your neck and face have started to march south, but your skin still retains some of its elasticity, you could be a good candidate for face lift surgery in La Jolla. Everyone of us is subject to the forces of sun, stress, gravity, and time, and as we age we sag in some spots and bunch up in others. While nothing can really stop the aging process entirely (nothing non-fatal, anyway), the clock can be turned back.

To perform a face lift, the surgeon makes incisions on the sides of the face starting at the temples, generally behind the hair line. He separates the tissue layers, tightening muscles and cutting away extra skin and fat, then stitches close the incisions while securing the tissues. Face lifts are typically done on an outpatient basis, and usually take several hours. Local or general anesthesia may be used, but your surgeon should discuss with you all of the pros and cons of your options beforehand.
