HOW IS A FACELIFT PERFORMED?

There are many variations to the facelift procedure.  Dr. Peterson used the "short incision technique", thereby eliminating a visible incision line and the unsightly incision scar behind the ear.

Working through the incisions, Dr. Peterson frees up the facial skin from it's underlying tissue and lifts it upward and back to the a position it occupied when you were younger.

The excess skin is then removed.  The deeper tissues are repositioned to the restore a more youthful contour to your face. if necessary, an incision under the chin allows Dr. Peterson to remove fatty tissue in that area and smooth the core-like structure of the underlying muscle in the neck.

Dr. Peterson most commonly performs this procedure under general anesthesia in an out-patient facility and after a monitored recovery, you will return home the very same day.

So soften your journey through time.  Through extensive surgical experience and artistic imagination, Dr. Peterson can help you achieve the natural elegance of a more youthful, rested appearance.
