During a Face Lift the surgeon makes an incision above the hairline. The facial skin is then separated from the underlying tissue and excess fat and skin are removed. The facial muscles are then tightened, improving the contours and appearance of the face. The skin is then reattached using stitches or staples. The overall result is usually a noticeable reduction of sagging and age lines in the face. Patients come away with a refreshed, younger-looking, and more vibrant appearance.

At Angeles Health cosmetic surgeon Dr. Miguel Parra performs the standard full Face Lift as well as a Mini Face Lift that will focus either on the lower face, or the upper face with temporal region. Either Mini Lift can be done with or without the eye area. The full Face Lift includes brows, eyes, neck, liposuction and cementoplasty (tying of the muscles under the chin so that you don’t have the dropped jowl). Incisions are made in front of the ear and can go around the back of the ear if needed.
