Facelift Surgery: Restore Your Youthful Appearance

What is a Facelift?

A facelift, medically known as rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to improve visible signs of aging in the face and neck. Dr. Renato V. Ocampo performs this procedure to address various factors contributing to the loss of youthful contours, including heredity, gravity, environmental conditions, and stress.

Facelift Surgery Treats:

• Sagging in the middle of the face
• Deep creases below the lower eyelids
• Fat that has fallen or disappeared
• Loss of skin tone in the lower face creating jowls
• Loose skin and excess fatty deposits under the chin and jaw
• Deep creases along the nose extending to the corner of the mouth

Why Consider a Facelift?

As we age, our skin loses elasticity and facial tissues lose volume. This natural aging process can result in deep wrinkles, loose neck skin, and jowls on the lower face. Dr. Ocampo recommends facelift surgery for patients who feel self-conscious about these signs of aging and wish to rejuvenate their appearance.

The Facelift Procedure Process

Dr. Renato V. Ocampo customizes each facelift procedure to the individual patient's needs and anatomy. The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia, with local anesthesia and sedation as options for less extensive procedures. The process involves:

1. Making incisions in the ear region
2. Separating the skin from underlying connective tissue and muscles
3. Repositioning deeper facial tissues
4. Creating a firmer foundation for the skin
5. Eliminating jowls
6. Removing excess skin
7. Gently laying remaining skin over rejuvenated facial tissues

This technique results in a smoother, more youthful facial contour, effectively addressing signs of aging and restoring a natural-looking appearance.
