In time, gravity, heredity, sun exposure, and the stresses of daily life take their toll on our faces: deep creases appear beside the mouth, the jaw line slackens, and folds and fat deposits appear on the neck. A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that aims to counteract these problems by removing fat and tightening skin and muscles, giving your face a fresher, youthful look. Dr. Saied Asfa uses many methods to rejuvenate the face, and has been named by Newsweek magazine and Statista, Inc. as one of America’s Top Plastic Surgeons for facelifts.

A facelift can improve visible signs of aging in the face and neck, including:

·         Sagging skin

·         Deep creases below the lower eyelids

·         Deep creases along the nose extending to the corner of the mouth

·         Fat that has fallen or disappeared

·         Loss of skin tone in the lower face, causing jowls

·         Loose skin and excess fatty deposits under the chin and jaw, giving the appearance of a double chin



Dr. Asfa performs several types of facelifts. During your consultation with him he will examine you and discuss your aesthetic goals to determine the best facial rejuvenation procedures for you. In general, good candidates for a facelift are healthy individuals who do not have medical conditions that impair healing; non-smokers/non-vapers; and individuals with realistic expectations.  A facelift does not change your fundamental appearance, is not guaranteed to last a lifetime, and will not stop the aging process.
