Plastic Surgery in Asheville, NC - Asheville Facelift Plastic Surgery

Facelift, or rhytidectomy, is an aesthetic procedure to correct the normal consequences of aging of the skin and its subcutaneous structures due to the inevitable effects of gravity. Attention in this procedure is directed towards the lower face and neck, where the jaw line and neckline are rediscovered and set to their normal youthful contours. Excessive fat below the chin and linear muscle bands are treated with this procedure. The skin is elevated and redraped to areas both in front of and behind the ear to reconstitute the normal contours. The result should attain complete naturalness without the look of excessive pulling or artificiality. Variations on the exact technique of face lift are common and should be customized to the individual patient.
