In time, there are a number of factors that can make our faces and necks look older than we actually are or older than we feel. These factors might include exposure to the sun, daily stress, genetic makeup or predisposition, and yes--gravity.

When most people hear the term plastic surgery, a face lift is what immediately comes to mind. While not completely synonymous, a face lift, or a rhytidectomy as it is medically known, is a very common cosmetic surgical procedure that can give your face and neck a noticeably younger appearance.
In regard to the number of available options, perhaps no other form of plastic surgery offers as many possibilities as a face lift. As each of us ages differently, certain parts of our faces will show that age more than others. A face lift procedure essentially accentuates your natural anatomical face and neck structures that have been affected by factors such as sun exposure and aging, among others.
In its basic concept, a face lift encompasses three steps:
• Removing excess fatty tissueA face lift can be done as a lone procedure or in conjunction with other cosmetic surgeries, such as an eyelid surgery, a brow lift, or a rhinoplasty (nose job). A face lift, in general, requires a significant amount of consultation. If you are considering multiple facial procedures, Dr. Shuster can sit with you to discuss all of your options, from the procedure itself to the anticipated results and recovery times.

As no two faces are exactly alike, the importance and degree of consultation that should occur prior to a face lift procedure can not be overstated. Your face, and its unique contours, will dictate which techniques and procedures should be used to accommodate the look you desire. Just as every face is unique, so too is every face lift.
One thing you should take into consideration is your expectation. While a face lift can give you younger appearance, it will make you look like a younger you. A face lift works with your unique bone structure to help you realize a look that enhances your unique attributes rather than help you look like someone in a magazine. If you are looking to get back to the real you, then a face lift is likely a reasonable option.
