Facelift Specialist
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to reduce the visible signs of aging in the face and neck.
As we age, factors such as gravity, sun exposure, and the stresses of daily life can lead to the development of wrinkles, sagging skin, and loss of facial volume. A facelift aims to address these issues by tightening underlying muscles, removing excess skin, and repositioning facial tissues to restore a smoother, more youthful appearance. This procedure can significantly enhance self-confidence and provide a refreshed, rejuvenated look that aligns with how individuals feel on the inside.

What are the types of Facelifts?
With advances in surgical techniques, the results of today’s lift procedures last a long time, anywhere from five to ten years. Plastic Surgeons have learned that a great facelift result lies not in tightening or pulling the skin, but rather in repositioning and suspending the deeper facial structures (sometimes referred to as the SMAS) to a more youthful position. Such advanced and modern techniques, including SMAS lifting techniques to Deep-plane techniques, can be used to effectively treat jowls, descending or deflated cheeks, and troublesome necks. Below are some of the Facelift techniques that Dr. Raggio can perform to help you achieve the perfect facial balance.
- Minimally Invasive Short-scar Mid-face Facelift (Mini-Lift)
- Deep-Plane Facelift
- SMAS Facelift
- Revision Facelift
