Rhytidectomy (Facelift) Beverly Hills, CA | Dr. Neal Handel MD

Understanding Facelift Surgery

A facelift reverses visible aging signs by removing lines, wrinkles, and excess skin while providing an overall lift to the lower third of the face. This surgical procedure addresses predictable changes caused by time, gravity, and sun exposure.

Factors Influencing Facial Aging

Individual aging varies significantly based on several key factors:

• Skin type and complexion
• Sun exposure
• Lifestyle factors like smoking

Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation Regions

Dr. Handel approaches facelift surgery by addressing three critical facial regions:

• Upper Face (eyebrows to hairline)
• Mid Face (eyebrows to jaw border)
• Lower Face and Neck (jaw border to neck base)

Surgical Techniques

Dr. Handel's approach focuses on natural-looking results by carefully elevating and tightening underlying facial structures. The procedure involves rotating deep musculoaponeurotic structures upward and trimming excess skin to eliminate wrinkles while maintaining a natural appearance.

Procedure Details

Facelift surgery is typically performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia. Most patients can expect to return to normal activities within two weeks following the procedure.

Procedure Goals

The primary objectives of a facelift include:

• Correcting midface sagging
• Softening deep facial creases
• Restoring skin tone
• Tightening jawline
• Rejuvenating neck appearance

Expert Surgical Approach

With nearly four decades of experience, Dr. Handel concentrates on providing the most natural-appearing results. The goal is to help patients look refreshed, not surgically altered.
