Face Lift Delaware

Rhytidectomy, commonly referred to as a face lift, is a procedure designed to elevate and reposition the facial tissue to a higher, more youthful location. This cosmetic surgery can dramatically improve ones cheeks, jowls, jaw line and neck area giving a natural and younger appearance.

Dr Saunders uses the latest techniques for the face lift surgery. This involves a careful and thought out pre-operative evaluation and discussion of goals. By using the most modern methods, the skin and muscle areas can be lifted and rejuvenated to seperate and distinct locations. This state of the art “vector” method gives a natural and long lasting face lift result compred to simplier methods. Another method Dr Saunders uses to enhance his cosmetic surgery face lift is with fat transfer or fat grafting. Fat transfer involves injectiong a persons own fat in to areas of the face where it is best needed. Aging is not just “droopy skin” but also a loss of youthful fat. By carefully reinjecting a person’s fat, a more natural and youthful facelift operation can be obtained.

There are different types of face lifts or “lifts” that can be performed. Dr. Saunders also performs a “Mid-Face lift” to rejuvenate the cheek area and upper face. This can be good for the younger patient with aging higher up in the face. A Forehead lift or Brow lift can elevate the forehead and eyebrow area for a higher and more attractive look. He performs this with endoscopes and tiny incisions. This minimally invasive brow lift can really rejuvenate and enhance a person’s face. Dr Saunders also performs lower face lift and neck lift operations. By tightening the neck muscles or platysma muscle dramatic changes can be achieved. This works well for turkey neck and other neck excess problems.

The best candidate for face lift surgery is anyone who is physically healthy and desires improved facial appearance.
