Facelift Surgery by Plastic Surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie

Facelift Surgery 

Facelift Surgery by Plastic Surgeon Dr. Gary MotykieRhytidectomy or facelift is a plastic surgery procedure that is used for creating a more youthful appearance. The procedure can be used for reducing the folds or sagging in skin, particularly in the jawline and cheeks. It can also be used for slowing or reversing the changes made on the face shape with age.

Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie provides facelift surgery to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations.

Cosmetic Benefits of Facelift

These are a few age-related changes that can be reduced through a facelift plastic surgery:

  • Sagging appearance of the cheeks
  • Jowls or excess skin present in the lower jawline
  • Deepening of the skin fold from the corner of the mouth to the side of the nose
  • Excess fat or sagging skin in the neck (this is done during a neck lift)

Traditional Full Facelift

You can achieve the most comprehensive results through a traditional facelift. The procedure can address sagging around the cheeks, deep creases that appear below the eyes, excess skin and fat under the chin, lines around the mouth, and jowls among other things. The treatment requires a larger incision since it targets a bigger area.

The incision runs all the way along the temple, around the ear, to the neck. You can address dramatic signs of aging through a full facelift. The treatment is popular among patients in their 50s and 60s.

Mid Facelift

Your surgeon can lift and tighten tissues around the cheeks and under the eyes in a mid facelift. The doctor will create an incision similar to a traditional facelift for performing this procedure. However, the incision will run deeper to allow the surgeon to lift the muscles that are usually not touched during a traditional facelift.

They may use facial implants and fat grafting for creating defined cheekbones and enhancing contours. The procedure is suitable for adults in their 30s and 40s since it doesn’t address all signs of aging.

Mini Facelift

Smaller incisions are involved in mini facelifts with shorter recovery time. This procedure is also called the weekend facelift. The cosmetic surgery procedure targets a smaller area, such as the neck, lower cheeks, and jaw. Your doctor will make the incision along the hairline going behind the ear.

They will lift muscles and remove fat and excess skin through the incision. Mini facelift is performed by many surgeons using endoscopic techniques. The procedure is common among younger patients with the first signs of aging.

Lower Facelift

This type of facelift targets the bottom third of the face. It’s an astute way to reduce deep nasolabial folds, eliminate jowls, enhance the jaw, and lift sagging mouth corners. The procedure is similar to other facelift types. Your doctor will make a discreetly placed incision along the hairline and ears.

This type of facelift is common for patients that want to enjoy a more youthful appearance by decreasing the signs of aging. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas for facelift surgery.
