Facelift in Louisville, KY

No matter the issue you wish to enhance, there are various levels of facelifts available. Some facelifts address the upper portion of the face, and others focus on the middle and lower. Furthermore, some techniques are slightly more invasive than others. It is also common for some men and women to have an eyelid lift, brow lift, or BOTOX® and fillers to complement and enhance their final results. Some of the more common facelift techniques include:

• Full Facelift: Considered the gold standard, the full or "traditional" facelift most often makes an incision near the hairline, then extends down to the temples, reaching the base of the ears. The deeper layer of facial muscles is delicately stretched and securely tightened to create a lifted look, which reduces excessive lines and wrinkles. This facelift is used for individuals who have signs of aggressive aging. During a full facelift, various procedures may be combined, including an eyelid lift to enhance the eyes or neck reduction for the lower region.
• Mid-Facelift: With a similar approach to the mini facelift, the mid-facelift (cheeks) addresses the droopy features close to the cheekbones and the upper jaw. This lift works great for those who seek improvement in the middle to lower region of the face, which also improves the look of the jowls.
• Lower Facelift: This lift works on the neck region, chin, and jowls in many cases. Nonsurgical methods, such as laser skin tightening or KYBELLA®, can also be used for chin reduction to attain a softer, tighter neck.
• Mini Facelift: When undergoing a mini facelift, a thin, small incision is made around the ears to lift the skin, which enhances the mouth, jawline, and jowls. This process creates nice and subtle enhancements that look beautiful and natural.
