FACELIFT

One of the most in-demand facial plastic surgery procedures in San Francisco is the facelift and Dr. Carolyn Chang is one of the best who performs it.

A facelift is essentially a cosmetic surgery method which is utilized to constrict the facial skin and to lift the region of the face which is hanging. Therefore, a facelift basically recovers the wrinkles on the patient’s face as well as the sagginess of the neck and facial region.

The procedure of a facelift entails weakening the skin around the face and then, re-draping it with the muscle. Furthermore, the fat is constricted and the process involves the reallocating the fat beneath the face and constricting it higher. Accordingly, the configuration of the face which is sagging because of gravity can be drawn up and the fat which is reallocated due to aging can be restored as well. Finally, the damage and wrinkles caused from the surroundings and the sun to the face can be recovered by elevating and stretching the skin. Basically, a facelift mainly involves elevating the face and neck.

The facelift is a highly beneficial facial plastic surgery performed at Dr. Chang’s San Francisco medical office.

With the process of aging, patients develop normal furrows, wrinkles and folds beneath their faces. Furthermore, they have a tendency to develop what are called nasal faults. These faults usually rise from the either side of the nose and it drapes downward to the lip. This area usually becomes thicker and the fault becomes deeper and, with more aging, turns into a big fault above the jaw region. This big fault above the jaw region can be treated by elevating, lifting and re-draping this region of the face through a facelift.

Like the facial conditions that develop with aging, the look of the neck region of the patient also varies with time. A majority of patients develop what is known as a ‘turkey neck’. As surplus fat is the cause for this, the neck region can be liposuctioned and, through a facelift, the skin can be elevated to return the smooth form of the neck.

In a nutshell, one of the primary advantages of a facelift is that the patient finishes up with an elevated cheek, cheek bone with elevated cheek region as well as a smoother jaw line and neck. Ultimately, patients will appear younger as a result of a facelift.

Other than the facelift, Dr. Chang performs many other facial plastic surgery procedures in San Francisco as well.
