Facelift In Houston

Growing older does not have to involve looking old. The years, the elements, and stress work against us all to create wrinkles and sagging skin on the cheeks, jawline, and neck. You might be surprised to learn how many people across the globe have rejuvenated their face and erased years from their look with facelift surgery.

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, improves the appearance of the lower two-thirds of the face by tightening sagging facial muscles, smoothing wrinkled skin, and removing excess fat. This procedure is often combined with a neck lift for improvements under the chin. The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia, but can be performed using local anesthesia with sedation.

A facelift is an outpatient procedure that typically takes about three to four hours to complete. To begin, the application of general or twilight anesthesia will ensure you are comfortable and pain-free throughout your surgery. Dr. Bullocks will then perform one of the following facelift techniques:

• Standard Facelift: The standard facelift aims to alleviate moderate to severe sagging skin on the face and neck. Your surgeon will make incisions along the hairline and behind the ears, which provides better lifting capability.
• Mini-Facelift: Mini-Facelift: This technique is ideal for less severely wrinkled, aged, or sagging facial skin.
