Many factors cause the skin to wrinkle and sag, including exposure to sun, genetics and the natural aging process, to name a few. Children and young adults have smooth, round faces due to fatty tissue that is evenly distributed throughout the contours of the face. As we age, the skin loses elasticity, sags and fits more loosely. Skin folds become prominent, especially around the chin, the jawline and along the neck. Dr. Robert Guyette performs facelifts to enhance your appearance and correct these conditions.

A facelift involves tightening and lifting of facial and neck muscles as well as the removal of excess skin. The procedure is often performed in conjunction with other cosmetic surgeries such as blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), forehead lift, chin augmentation, cheek augmentation, liposuction or rhinoplasty (nasal surgery).
