The facelift is a procedure that rejuvenates the middle and lower third of the person’s face. It is aesthetically divided into three parts: forehead, mid-face (cheeks) and neck. A facelift is a combination lift of the lower face and neck with the mid-face. Adding a forehead or brow lift would constitute a full-face lift. In some cases, aging occurs more rapidly in the mid face than in the forehead and not everyone is a candidate for a full facelift and neck lift. This is a procedure that should be customized for every patient. The challenge is to create a natural appearance where patients look like themselves, only younger and refreshed.

Abdominoplasty or “tummy tuck” is a cosmetic surgery procedure used to make the abdomen firmer removing excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen in order to tighten the muscle and fascia of the abdominal wall. Patients usually seek this type of surgery with loose or sagging tissues after pregnancy or major weight loss. After the procedure, the results are technically permanent, the positive outcome can be greatly diminished by significant fluctuations in your weight. Tummy tucks are not a substitute for weight loss or obesity. Also, tummy tucks cannot correct stretch marks but these may be removed or somewhat improved if they are located on the areas of excess skin that will be excised, generally the treated areas below the belly button.
