Facelift cosmetic surgery is an effective way to turn back the clock on years of aging. Wrinkling, jowls, and sagging skin is part of the natural aging process , and if you spend time in the sun, skin damage can prematurely add years to your appearance. A facelift can rejuvenate skin and restore a more youthful look by removing unwanted wrinkles and excess skin on the face and neck. Facelift is a surgical procedure available at our Jacksonville office that is intended to tighten up loose skin and wrinkles, making you look refreshed and about ten years younger.

In the facelift cosmetic surgery procedure, an incision is placed inconspicuously along the hairline, under the chin, or behind the ear. Facial and neck skin is then lifted and tightened, and the excess skin is removed. To complete the facelift, remaining skin is smoothed and sutured closed. The procedure may take up to three hours, depending on your skin's condition and desired results. Most patients experience only minor pain and discomfort. Other side effects may include swelling, bruising, numbness, and a tight feeling.
