Houston Face Lift Surgeon – Facelift Surgery in Houston, Texas

As patients age and the skin loses elasticity, many experience several signs of aging, such as crows' feet, fine lines, age spots, loss of volume, sagging skin and wrinkles. Some topical treatments may be successful at treating at few of these traits. Laser skin resurfacing, chemical peels and microdermabrasion lessen the appearance of fine lines and age spots. Others choose to treat deeper wrinkles with injectable fillers, like Botox, Restylane, Juvederm and Radiesse.

While the above procedures are able to ease the signs of aging, only facelift surgery can treat loose, sagging skin caused by loss of elasticity. A Houston cosmetic surgeon begins face lift surgery by creating small incisions in front of or behind the ears. Next, he or she gently lifts loose skin to a tighter position, as well as extracts excess skin. The surgeon may also reposition facial muscles to achieve optimal results. Once healed, patients can enjoy the results of face lift surgery for ten years or more. Ask your surgeon to explain the facelift recovery and face lift surgery risks.

Facelift is the most well known of the procedures for facial plastic surgery. Other common types of plastic surgery procedures for the face include rhinoplasty, otoplasty, browlift and chin surgery.
