What is a Facelift?

As we age the face undergoes natural and predictable aging processes, consisting of deflation, descent and deterioration. Deflation refers to the loss of facial fat and volume that leaves the fullness of youth and soft tissues of youth unsupported. The unsupported tissues of the mid-face, jowl and neck then begin to descent and animation and loss of volume result in wrinkles and deterioration. A truly natural and attractive facelift procedure will restore, through a natural and attractive balanced way, the fullness of youth through volumization techniques such as fat grafting or transfer of various gel fillers at the time of facial rejuvenative and facelift surgery. There are many different types of facelift procedures and approaches that Dr. Mulholland might deploy to achieve your individual needs and aesthetic goals. The ranges in the extent of facelift surgery can vary from very small, limited “mini-facelifts” ,also called the Lifestyle lifts and Mini StealthLift, which provide improvement for the jawline and upper neck, to intermediate type jowl and necklifts to full face, cheek, jowl and necklifts.

Dr. Mulholland will always select the most inconspicuous and well hidden incision locations to minimize any risk of visible scars. One of the most concerning issues most facelift patients have is fear and concern of looking “done”, unnatural or otherwise “lifted”.
