Face Lift in La Jolla

If your neck and face have begun to march south, but your skin still retains some of its elasticity, you could be a good candidate for facelift surgery in La Jolla. Everyone of us is subject to the effects of sun, stress, gravity, and time, and as we age we droop in some spots and bunch up in others. While nothing can really stop the aging process entirely (nothing non-fatal, anyway), the clock can be turned back.

To perform a face lift, the doctor makes incisions on the sides of the face starting at the temples, generally behind the hair line. The tissue layers are separated and either cut away or tightened, and stitches close the incisions while securing the tissues. Face lifts are typically done on an outpatient basis, and usually take several hours. Either local or general anesthesia may be used, but your surgeon should discuss with you all of the pros and cons of your options beforehand. Schedule a consultation for your face lift procedure in La Jolla, California, with Dr. Robert Kearney.
