Face Lift in Miami

Many people suffer noticeable effects of aging, gravity, and daily stress in the lower two-thirds of the face. It's common to experience wrinkling and sagginess in the neck and cheeks, as well as around the mouth. However, a face lift can help smooth this area out, improving the contours and profile of the face.

Face lift surgery is usually performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia or local with sedation. It involves the removal of excess skin, occassional tightening of sublayers, and then the lifting of remaining skin. Many Miami face lift surgeons perform the procedure on its own, but also find that patients benefit from the enhanced effects of performing it in conjunction with a forehead or brow lift.

After face lift surgery, some patients experience a temporary numbness in the treated areas of the face. Bruising and swelling will also be evident and may last for about 10-14 days.
