Face lift surgery continues to be one of the most popular cosmetic procedures performed around the US. As society puts more pressure on men and women to maintain a youthful appearance, more people are looking to cosmetic surgery to stay looking young. When performed by a skilled cosmetic surgeon, face lift surgery can produce some truly amazing results.

Face lift surgery is used to eliminate the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. During the face lift procedure, the skin is re-draped, pockets of fat removed, and the skin around the jaw line tightened. This reduces the appearance of sagging skin around the neck. Face lift surgery is often combined with other rejuvenation procedures such as brow lift or eyelid surgery to produce optimal results.

This is done with an incision that, depending on the amount being excised, will determine the incision length, but the placement is always in as inconspicuous a position as possible such as the armpit or the under-most side of the arm. If stubborn fat cells are also a concern, the Arm Lift may be done in combination with Liposuction to achieve the leaner, more toned results desired.

Chicago Eyelid Rejuvenation

One of the first areas we show signs of aging is in the face, specifically around the eyes. The upper eyelid can become heavy and droop, even hanging over the eye which can obstruct your sight and make you look sleep and worn out. Under the eyes dark, puffy bags can form and along the outer sides of the eyes, wrinkles and crows feet are very commonly formed. If you are unhappy with skin around your eyes, you may be a good candidate for Blepharoplasty.

Chicago Blepharoplasty, known more commonly as Eyelid Surgery or an Eyelid lift, is a procedure in which excess skin is removed from around the eye to create a smoother, wider, more alert and youthful appearance. Often time eyelid surgery is performed in conjunction with other facial rejuvenation procedures like face lifts, forehead lifts or dermal fillers to create a more youthful appearance overall.
