Facelift

A Facelift reshapes the lower half of the face, to restore the heart shaped face of our youth. Also commonly known as rhytidectomy, it tightens the loose muscle and skin around the jaw line, eliminates deep creases around the mouth and nose, and addresses the hanging skin and fat under the chin and neck.

Dr. Malone has mastered the deep plane facelift technique under guidance from famed surgeon Dr. Andrew Jacono, allowing her to lift and tighten a sagging face and neck without the windswept look associated with older facelift methods.

Lip Lift
