Facelift

Restore youthful contours and refined definition to the face and neck with natural, lasting results

Overview

Natural Facial Rejuvenation

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that addresses visible signs of aging in the face and neck. Dr. Michael C. Glafkides uses advanced techniques to lift and tighten underlying facial tissues, remove excess skin, and restore a more youthful, natural contour.

With 35 years of surgical experience, Dr. Michael C. Glafkides takes an artistic, individualized approach to facial rejuvenation. The goal is not to create a "pulled" or artificial appearance, but to turn back the clock while maintaining your unique features and expressions.

Modern facelift techniques allow for longer-lasting, more natural results with shorter recovery times than traditional methods.
