FACELIFT SURGERY
Skin naturally loses elasticity over time due to the effects of gravity and reduced levels of elastin and collagen. This results in sagging skin and wrinkles that drag down the face. It makes patients look older, more tired, and more grumpy
What is a Facelift?
A facelift, medically termed as rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure crafted to counteract the evident signs of aging on the face and neck. This procedure focuses on addressing issues like sagging skin, pronounced creases, jowls, and lax facial muscles, aiming to rejuvenate the appearance by creating a smoother, tighter, and more youthful look. Through the lifting and firming of underlying tissues, a facelift can deliver enduring outcomes and a naturally rejuvenated appearance.
What are the different types of Facelifts?
Traditional Facelift: This comprehensive facelift technique addresses moderate to severe signs of aging on the face and neck. It involves incisions made along the hairline, extending around the ear and possibly into the scalp. Through these incisions, the underlying tissues are lifted, excess skin is removed, and the remaining skin is tightened for a rejuvenated look.
Mini Facelift: The mini facelift is a less invasive procedure suitable for individuals with mild to moderate facial aging concerns. It involves smaller incisions and focuses on targeted areas such as the lower face and jawline. The mini facelift offers natural results with a shorter recovery period.
As individuals age, they tend to notice changes in three common areas. Firstly, the mid-face loses fat volume gradually, resulting in a sunken appearance. Secondly, the regions surrounding the nasolabial folds can begin to sag, creating a tired and drooping look. Lastly, jowls may develop along the jawline.
Modern techniques now offer a facelift that is refined, subtle, and revitalizing. Our primary objective for clients is to steer clear of the past issues associated with a visibly tightened or "pulled" appearance that once affected the field of plastic surgery. Dr. Chow believes that a facelift should enhance your innate, age-appropriate beauty and illuminate your natural features.

Facelifts with Dr. Chow
Achieving a natural-looking facelift outcome involves a blend of skill, artistry, and the appropriate techniques. Dr. Chow combines these elements to deliver personalized and beautiful results that enhance your unique facial features. He takes great care to minimize scarring by discreetly placing incisions within the natural folds of the ear and along the hairline, ensuring they remain inconspicuous.
During the procedure, Dr. Chow focuses on the SMAS muscles (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) to address the underlying facial layers that tend to sag with age. These deep muscles provide essential support to the cheeks, midface, jawline, and upper neck. By tightening this internal framework, Dr. Chow achieves a seamlessly youthful aesthetic. A SMAS facelift typically offers longer-lasting results compared to a standard facelift.
Throughout the treatment, Dr. Chow carefully creates small incisions in the areas requiring lifting. He releases three layers of skin, manipulating the SMAS muscles to create a firm and smooth surface. Excess fat, skin, and tissue are removed, and sutures are skillfully applied. Many clients report a faster recovery process after a SMAS facelift.
