Los Angeles Face Lift
A Face Lift or Rhytidectomy removes excess skin and
repositions fat and muscles to correct jowls, deep lines from the
nose to the mouth, and minimal to moderate neck laxity which naturally
occur with aging. Some patients having facelift surgery may also
require a neck lift, neck liposuction, or neck muscle repair (platysmaplasty)
for more extensive neck treatment. Since a face lift does not change
the quality of the skin itself, a chemical peel or laser resurfacing
is often performed in the same setting.

Technique:
The incision is made in front of the ear, inside the ear, and then
extends behind the ear by the earlobe. The skin, fat, and muscle
are separated, lifted and then re-draped to a more youthful-appearing
position. Often times, the fat and muscle are sutured in place to
prevent premature descent. Dr. Hoenig is an expert in the deep plane
face lift, SMAS lift, and other advanced facelift surgery techniques.
Extra care is taken in suturing the incision to minimize the scar,
rendering it virtually invisible after the initial healing period.
What's the difference between
a facelift and a mid-facelift?
In short, a face lift, will address
cheek laxity, jowls , and neck laxity. It usually involves
tightening not only the skin, but also underlying fat and muscle.

Face lift surgery is performed on an outpatient basis under local

with oral or IV sedation and usually takes 2 to 4 hours. Stitches
are removed in 7 to 10 days. Most patients return to work after
2 weeks. For patients interested in traveling to southern California
or Los Angeles, face lift surgery necessitates usually a minimum
one week stay..
