Facelift
Q & A
What is a facelift?
Your face is one of the first places to show the signs of aging. The natural loss of collagen that happens as you get older means you lose facial volume and have decreased skin elasticity. You may be dismayed by your once-youthful face looking saggy or gaunt.
A facelift corrects the signs of aging, such as:
- Deep creases between your nose and mouth
- Slack jaw
- Jowly cheeks
- Folds and fat around the neck
A facelift cannot stop the aging process, but it does remove excess fat, tighten underlying muscles, and reset loose, sagging skin.
At TMB Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Born provides the most advanced facelifts to address a loss of facial volume with a modern 3D approach. He corrects skin laxity using new techniques that support the facial structure.
Who is a candidate for a facelift?
The TMB Cosmetic Surgery facelift is ideal for the modern man or woman who wishes to avoid a “done” or operated look but still wants to see the dramatic results that can only be achieved with a complete surgery.
During your consultation, Dr. Born reviews your medical history and aesthetic goals to determine if a facelift is the right procedure for you. He then customizes your plan to help you achieve the youthful look you desire.
What happens during a facelift?
There are many different facelift, or rhytidectomy, techniques that can be performed to correct the effects of facial aging. Dr. Born often combines different techniques along with fat grafting and eyelid surgery in order to achieve the most aesthetically pleasing and natural results.
The ultimate goal of any customized procedure is to reduce the look of deep facial folds and tighten excess sagging skin.
During a facelift, Dr. Born shapes the deep facial tissue to reposition and restore your face’s underlying foundation.
He lifts and rebuilds the structure of your face from the bottom up. He may use exacting techniques to reposition the fat and fascia that have become lax because of the effects of time and gravity.
You may also benefit from added fat grafting during your facelift. Dr. Born may recommend this additional procedure to give you a softer, rested, and more youthful appearance.
What should I consider when choosing a doctor to perform my facelift?
You want only the most experienced surgeons to work on your face. Dr. Born has performed hundreds of facelift surgeries and is regarded as one of the most technically advanced surgeons in North America.
He has been performing facial micro fat grafting in conjunction with facelift surgery for longer than any surgeon in Canada and is regularly consulted by the media for his expertise and vision when it comes to cosmetic plastic surgery techniques.
You want a provider, like Dr. Born, who places your interests as the top priority. Dr. Born is even known to call his surgery patients the evening after their surgery just to check in and offer his personal support during their recovery.
