Face & Neck Lift

Face Lift Surgery, (rhytidectomy), is designed to restore a more youthful appearance of the face & the neck, by  removing major wrinkles and sagging skin.

The skin begins to wrinkle and sag as a result of the aging process, sun exposure and genetics.

Children and young adults have smooth, round faces due to evenly distributed fatty tissues in facial contours. Over time, the skin sags and folds in the chin, jawline and neck become prominent as facial volume is concomitantly lost.

Not only does a face lift improve facial appearance but also has a dramatic effect on the neck, enhancing its contour and profile.

 The new, extremely popular "Mini" Face Lift Surgery, called various names by those wishing to claim ownership of the procedure, addresses laxity of the lower face & neck.

Dr. Porcaro safely and comfortably performs face and neck lift procedures under local tumescent anesthesia along with intravenous sedation in his level 2 office based surgery facility, registered with the Florida Board of Medicine in Port St. Lucie.

 There is no need for general anesthesia, which increases the cost and risks of a face lift procedure

This minimally invasive procedure, which takes about an hour, involves making incisions inside the hairline at the temples that extend in front of and within the external ear canals, around the earlobes and behind the ears, ending in the scalp area.

Excess skin is removed and sagging fascia, critical for the support of the skin, is tightened. The skin is redrapped without tension, resulting in a natural, durable youthful change, without the "wind tunnel" look of some traditional face lift procedures.

Besides a completelly natural look, this less aggressive face lift procedure has proven to be just as durable as more aggressive "deep plane" face lifts, addiing to the many benefits of this in office face lift!

Many patients undergoing face lift, especially older patient, will require tightening of the neck, accomplished at the same time as the face lift. This is done thru a 1" neck incision that will not be noticeable once it heals. This results in dramatic improvement of the cheek/neck border and eliminates the "turkey neck" deformity, a common complaint it patient seeking a face lift operation.

An eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) can be done at the same time as the face lift, as needed.

Face lift incisions are closed with absorbable sutures, leaving virtually no tell-tale signs. Recovery is quick, with virtually all patients being fully recovered in 10-14 days.

You can look years younger and restore your confidence with this low risk, in office face/neck lift procedure.
