Your Hawaii face lift (rhytidectomy) is performed by surgically lifting and tightening facial and neck skin and underlying muscle as well as removing excess fat to correct a jowl-like appearance and smooth the deep creases from the base of the nose to the corners of the mouth. Face lift is one of the most popular and satisfying cosmetic procedures. This year, over 100,000 Americans between their 20s and 90s will reverse some of the effects of sun exposure, gravity, aging and stress with a face lift. If you are ready to "turn back the clock," a face lift in Hawaii can help you appear more rested, healthier and vigorous.

Your Face Lift in Hawaii

Face lift can be performed alone or in conjunction with other procedures such as neck lift, brow lift, eyelid surgery or nose shaping. Your final look should not be tight or expressionless and it should not be obvious that you have had a procedure. Together, you and your Hawaii cosmetic surgeon can determine the best procedures and timing to create your rejuvenated new look.

The ideal candidates for face lift in Hawaii are men and women who have some excess and sagging skin on their face and neck. Sun exposure, stress, and even gravity contribute to the aging process in the face. Typically, patients are between the ages of forty and sixty, but face lifts can be performed on patients much older with very successful results.

With any surgery, especially face lift, it is important to talk with the doctor regarding any medications you are taking. If you are a smoker, your Hawaii cosmetic surgeon will require you to stop smoking at least a month before doing a facelift. This is because smoking interferes with the supply of blood and oxygen to the skin, which will inhibit the healing process.
