If you're considering a facelift

A facelift (technically known as rhytidectomy) can improve the most visible signs of aging in the face and neck by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and redraping the skin. Dr. Hosn has completed a specialized training fellowship in aesthetic facial surgery. Dr. Hosn blends surgical precision with an aesthetic approach, resulting in a refreshed, natural look for patients. There are full facelifts which address the brow/eye area, cheek, jowl and neck. There are lower facelifts which address the jowls and the neck. Location of the incisions depends on the aesthetics and idiosyncrasies of the face.

Are you a candidate for a facelift?

The best candidate for a facelift is a man or woman in good health whose face and neck have begun to sag, but whose skin still has some elasticity. Most patients are in their forties to sixties but facelifts can be done successfully on people in their seventies or eighties as well.
A facelift can make you look younger and fresher. Before you decide to have surgery, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them with Dr. Hosn.
