Wrinkles, loose skin, descent of facial fat from higher to lower positions... these are all consequences of sun exposure, heredity and of course aging.  Current surgical and non-surgical techniques allow for a natural looking restoration of youthful characteristics of the skin and soft tissues of the face. 

The descent of soft tissues with age results in the characteristic  signs of  facial aging.  Marionette lines, jowls, nasolabial fold, naso-jugal troughs;  these are some of the terms you will hear plastic surgeons use to describe these characteristics.

Face lift (rhytidectomy) is a procedure designed and refined to particularly address these features as well as the laxity of skin that develops as a consequence of sun, heredity and age.
