In
older people, or those exposed to large amounts of sun or stress,
wrinkled creased skin can develop on the face, neck or forehead, along
with fat deposits and folds around the jaw and jowls. While a facelift
can’t stop the aging process, in many cases it can "turn back the
clock."
Facelifts can be performed alone, or with other cosmetic procedures, such as
eyelid or forehead surgery. Most are performed under anesthesia in our AAAASF
accredited office surgical suite.
Depending on the area to be treated, facelifts
usually involve incisions made along the hairline which extend around the ears
to the lower scalp. The skin is lifted away from the fat and muscle underneath,
and excess fat is removed. Dr. Kurley tightens the remaining tissue, and the
skin is then replaced, tightened and secured with sutures or clips.
Swelling and minor discomfort last a few days, and stitches are usually
removed within a week.
Dr. Kurley specializes in full body enhancements through plastic and
cosmetic surgery.
