San Francisco Facelift Surgery
By Bay Area Surgeon Dr. Aycock
As we age, our skin elasticity diminishes, creating wrinkles, creases, folds, and fat deposits on the face and neck. Sun exposure, stress, and genetics can all contribute to the aging process, as well. Although a facelift can't stop the aging process, it can help you look years younger. As facelift techniques improve and recovery time decreases, patients are choosing to have facelifts at a younger age than ever before.
Face lift Procedure Information
Facelifts can be performed alone or with other cosmetic procedures such as eyelid lift or brow lift plastic surgery. Depending on the area to be treated and the techniques used, San Francisco surgeon Dr. Aycock will probably make an incision along the hairline, lifting the skin away from the fat and muscle underneath, and removing excess fat.

Dr. Aycock tightens the remaining tissue, then secures the skin with sutures to create a natural, youthful, and more balanced appearance.
Recovery from Facelifts
Swelling and minor discomfort may last a few days, and stitches are usually removed within a week. Most patients are surprised by how quickly they heal from facelift surgery, often wondering why they hadn't had a facelift sooner.
