With aging, or in those exposed to large amounts of sun or stress, wrinkled, creased skin can develop on the face, neck or forehead, along with fat deposits and folds around the jaws and jowls. While a facelift can't stop the aging process, in many cases it can "turn back the clock." More patients are choosing to have facelifts at a younger age then ever before.

Facelifts can be performed alone, or with other cosmetic procedures such as eyelid or forehead surgery. Depending on the area to be treated, facelifts usually involve incisions made along the hairline, which extend around the ears to the lower scalp. The skin is lifted away from the fat and muscle underneath, and excess fat is removed.

Dr. Watkins tightens the remaining tissue, and the skin is then, tightened and secured with sutures in a natural and more neutral way. Swelling and minor discomfort last a few days, and stitches are usually removed within a week.

Brow Lift Surgery

The drooping or lowering of the eyebrows is frequently one of the earliest signs of aging. This condition is often overlooked because most people are unaware of the problem and the marked improvement its correction can provide.

Before

After

This can be from skin laxity and fat loss around the brow, forehead and temple areas. Additionally, horizontal wrinkles and vertical frown lines in the glabella (between the brows) can be improved with this procedure.
