COSMETIC PROCEDURES: FACE SURGERY

LOWER FACE REJUVENATION

Achieve a more youthful and defined lower face and neck with rejuvenation surgeries at Dr. Aycock’s Denver practice. She provides personalized facelifts (rhytidectomy), focusing on natural-looking results that enhance your unique features and restore a refreshed, vibrant look. As Dr. Aycock states, “Most of my patients want to look like themselves but younger and refreshed.”

WHY WOULD SOMEONE GET A FACELIFT?

Many women find that as they age, they notice changes in their lower face and neck that bother them. A lower face rejuvenation surgery can help. You might consider this procedure if you:

  • Notice Sagging Skin Along Your Jawline creating jowls and blurring your jaw’s definition.
  • Have Loose Skin Under Your Chin resulting in a “turkey neck” appearance.
  • Feel Self-Conscious About Deep Lines in your lower face and neck.
  • Want to Look More Refreshed and Youthful and feel more confident in your appearance.

Dr. Aycock understands the delicate balance required to achieve natural-looking rejuvenation. With her expertise in facial anatomy and a commitment to personalized care, she will work closely with you to create a tailored plan that addresses your specific concerns. Her goal is to help you achieve a refreshed and youthful appearance that enhances your natural beauty, ensuring you feel confident and comfortable throughout your rejuvenation journey.

BENEFITS OF A LOWER FACE REJUVENATION

Imagine looking in the mirror and seeing a reflection that matches how you feel inside. Picture a defined jawline and a smooth neck, erasing years from your appearance. Reclaim the youthful confidence you thought was lost.

Envision entering a room and feeling completely at ease with your appearance. No more hiding behind scarves or avoiding photos. Embrace a newfound sense of self-assurance that radiates from within.

Consider the impact of a refreshed and vibrant appearance on your interactions. Project an image of vitality and confidence that can open doors in both your personal and professional life. Feel more engaged and present in every interaction.

Tired of temporary fixes? Unlike lasers, threads, fillers or Botox, a facelift and neck lift provide enduring improvements. Enjoy the confidence of knowing your rejuvenated look will stand the test of time, without constant maintenance.

HOW IS A FACELIFT PERFORMED?

A Lower Face Rejuvenation, often including a deep plane facelift, is a personalized surgical approach tailored to your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. During your consultation, Dr. Aycock will assess your lower face and neck, discussing the best surgical plan for your desired results.

The deep plane facelift involves incisions placed strategically to minimize scarring, typically along the hairline and behind the ears. This technique allows Dr. Aycock to work beneath the SMAS layer, providing a more comprehensive and longer-lasting lift. A neck lift is always performed concurrently, with incisions behind the ears or under the chin, to address sagging neck skin and muscles.

Dr. Aycock’s commitment extends beyond the operating room. She believes in fostering a collaborative partnership with each patient, ensuring you feel heard and supported throughout your entire journey. From the initial consultation to your final follow-up, she will provide clear communication, address your questions, and guide you through each stage of your recovery, empowering you to embrace your rejuvenated appearance with confidence.

Candidates for
FACELIFT

  • Are at least 40 years of age
  • Have not been an active smoker within the past 6 months
  • Have a BMI under 35
  • Have good overall health
  • Have realistic expectations about outcomes
  • Want to refresh their appearance and address signs of aging in the lower face and neck

If sagging jowls, excess skin in the neck, or deep wrinkles and lines are impacting your confidence, a facelift may help you gain a more youthful and refreshed look. Dr. Aycock will assess your individual circumstances, including skin quality and lifestyle.

Say Goodbye To Your Double Chin With A Facelift

Many people associate a double chin with excess fat, but it’s often a combination of factors, including loose skin and weakened muscles, that contribute to its appearance. A traditional facelift, combined with a neck lift, can effectively address a double chin by:

  • Tightening Loose Neck Skin: A neck lift, performed alongside a facelift, removes excess skin and tightens the underlying muscles, creating a smoother and more defined neck contour.
  • Redefining the Jawline: By lifting and repositioning sagging tissues, a facelift helps to restore a more youthful and defined jawline, reducing the appearance of a double chin.
  • Addressing Underlying Muscle Laxity: In some cases, weakened neck muscles contribute to a double chin. A neck lift can tighten these muscles, providing a more supported and youthful neck appearance.

It’s important to understand that if the double chin is primarily due to excess fat, liposuction may be recommended in conjunction with or instead of a facelift. Dr. Aycock will assess your individual anatomy and discuss the most appropriate treatment plan during your consultation.

FAQ ABOUT LOWER FACE REJUVENATION

The terms ‘temporary’ and ‘permanent’ facelifts are often used, but aging continues after any procedure. Temporary facelifts include non-surgical options like Botox, dermal fillers, and thread lifts, offering results lasting months to a couple of years. A ‘permanent’ facelift, or surgical rhytidectomy, provides longer-lasting results by tightening muscles and removing excess skin, but it doesn’t stop the aging process. Surgical facelifts offer a more significant and durable correction compared to temporary solutions.

A facelift procedure, performed under local anesthesia in Dr. Aycock’s office, generally starts at approximately $15,000, with the final cost influenced by the complexity and extent of your unique needs. We believe in complete transparency, so during your consultation, Dr. Aycock’s team will provide a detailed quote and discuss all financial options, including our financing solutions, to ensure you feel confident moving forward.

The results of a surgical facelift (rhytidectomy) are designed to be long-lasting, typically providing a refreshed and youthful appearance for many years. While the procedure addresses existing signs of aging by tightening muscles and removing excess skin, it cannot stop the natural aging process. Most patients enjoy the benefits of their facelift for 10 to 15 years, or even longer. Lifestyle factors, such as sun exposure, weight fluctuations, and skin care habits, can influence how long your results last.

The goal of a well-performed facelift is to enhance, not alter, your natural appearance. By focusing on subtle adjustments and meticulous technique, Dr. Aycock avoids the ‘overdone’ or ‘windswept’ look that can sometimes occur with less skilled surgeons. She prioritizes a harmonious balance, addressing sagging skin and restoring volume in a way that appears both natural and rejuvenated. During your consultation, she will discuss your specific goals and create a personalized plan to ensure your facelift results complement your individual beauty.
