Facelift Pensacola, DC | James Frost, MD

Understanding Facelift Procedures

Facial aging typically becomes noticeable in the late 40's or 50's, presenting changes like neck sagging, persistent jowls, and deep facial creases. While Botox and fillers can address initial signs of aging, a facelift becomes the optimal solution when skin laxity becomes prominent.

Facelift Indications

A facelift effectively improves visible aging signs in the lower face and neck, including:

• Loose skin and excess fat under the chin and jaw
• Turkey neck appearance
• Lower facial squaring due to jowl development
• Pronounced creases extending from nose to mouth corners
