Understanding Facial Aging and Modern Facelift Techniques

Facial aging is a complex process characterized by multiple transformative changes, including cheek flattening, pronounced jowling, neck redundancy, and generalized skin wrinkling. These age-related modifications result from increased skin laxity and diminishing subcutaneous tissue volume, creating the characteristic appearance of facial aging.

Evolution of Facelift Surgical Approaches

Traditional facelift techniques focused exclusively on skin tightening, involving extensive surgical dissection and creating significant tissue tension. These older methods often resulted in expensive procedures with prolonged recovery times and an unnatural, overly "surgical" aesthetic.

Contemporary Facelift Methodology

Modern facelift techniques prioritize natural-looking rejuvenation with reduced recovery periods. Stephen Lober Plastic Surgery employs advanced approaches that combine surgical tissue tightening with strategic volume enhancement, frequently utilizing the patient's own fat for more authentic facial restoration.
