Benefits to You
A face lift, while it can’t stop the aging process, can improve the visible signs of aging. This procedure, which is most popular with women and men in their 40s to 70s, centers on the lower face from the lower eyelids to the neck. While each patient is unique, common reasons for choosing a face lift include:
- Lifting and tightening loose skin on the cheeks, jowls, and neck
- Softening smile lines and marionette lines around the nose and mouth
- Elevating sagging cheeks
- Removing excess fat deposits from the cheeks, jaw line, neck, and under the chin
Dr. Ashley K. Lentz strive to attain the improvements that are a priority to you. A facelift can be performed alone or in conjunction with other procedures such as a brow lift, eyelid surgery, and fat injections, which can be used to contour the face and add fullness to areas such as the lips.
The First Step: Your Facelift Consultation
At your consultation, Dr. Ashley K. Lentz will gather information about your medical history and treatment expectations. During the consultation, you should be completely transparent regarding any medical conditions that you have and the medications that you take. You should also mention lifestyle choices such as drug use and alcohol and tobacco consumption.
If you are considered medically eligible for cosmetic surgery, Dr. Lentz will assess your facial tissues and bone structure. She may take close-up photos of your facial features as part of this process. She can then develop a personalized treatment plan to best achieve your desired results.
Dr. Lentz will perform your Facelift surgery at Advent Health Daytona Beach or Halifax Health Hospital - Port Orange.
