IS A FACE LIFT RIGHT FOR ME?

Facelifts are most commonly performed on patients in the 40-60 year age range. However the procedure can produce very good results in individuals in their 60's-70's and 80's as well. Everyone ages differently.

You may be a good candidate for a facelift if you have any of the following types of conditions:

• Deep lines that run from the corner of your nose to the corner of your mouth.
• Loss of a well defined jawline.
• Deep wrinkles in the cheeks and sagging skin near the cheekbones.
• Loose skin, wrinkles or excess fatty tissue in the neck.

Dr. Peterson may explain additional procedures that can be performed along with a facelift to help you achieve your goal of total facial rejuvenation.  A facelift is frequently combined with:

• A forehead or browlift to correct lines and furrows in the brow.
• Eyelid surgery to eliminate drooping upper eyelids or bags beneath the eyes.
• Reshaping the nose the one you "inherited" or one misshaped in the "sporting accident" and never quite got around to getting fixed.
• Skin treatments such  as laser resurfacing or glycolic treatments before and after your surgery to help keep your skin looking and feeling  great!
