What Can a Fort Lauderdale Facelift Help Correct?

Some of the signs of aging that our facelifts in South Florida can correct are:

  • Deep creases below the lower eyelids and cheeks
  • Fat deposits in the neck and along the lower jawline
  • Loss of volume (fat) in the face, cheeks, and around the eyes
  • Loose skin and excess fatty deposits under the chin and jaw, can create the appearance of a double chin and/or turkey neck, even in someone of average weight.

FACELIFT WITH SMAS

A full facelift involves mid-face, lower face, and neck rejuvenation. Dr. Potparic removes excess fat deposits from the neck, under the chin, and jowls by a combination of liposuction and direct excision with scissors then tighten the loose muscle in the middle of the neck to create a sharp angle between the lower jaw, chin, and neck.

He pulls facial muscles (SMAS) up and back to improve the jawline, lift the cheeks, and increase fullness around the eyes. Additionally, the doctor pulls the superficial muscles of the neck back up to further contour the neck.

The procedure next calls for the skin of the face and neck, which was separated from muscles, to be gently pulled up and back and draped over the tightened muscles, followed by conservative removal of excess skin.

The face/neck lift scar is placed in the crease in front of the ear and in the groove behind the ear, and a short scar is placed below the chin. These scars generally heal well and become difficult to notice after one year. Until scars completely mature (6 to 12 months), they can be successfully covered with makeup.

In order to improve lost facial volume in selected patients, Dr. Potparic uses fat grafting or dermal filler injections. Fat grafts are typically injected with a small cannula into the cheeks and along the junction between cheeks and the lower eyelids where deep grooves are present. Both lower and upper lips (deep muscles) are injected with fat to increase their fullness. An injection of fat grafts or fillers softens deep grooves around the mouth (nasolabial fold and marionette lines).

Many facelift patients, who come to our practice from Boca Raton and other nearby communities, frequently opt to have other procedures, such as forehead lift (browlift) and eyelid surgery, performed in addition to face/neck lift.
