Face Lift

McKim, MD Boise Plastic Surgeon Some of the most visible signs of aging first appear on the face. Although the changes appear gradually, there may come a day when you look in the mirror and decide that the face you see doesn't reflect the way you feel about yourself. If you'd like to look as good as you feel, a facelift can help. A facelift smooths the loose skin on your face and neck, tightens underlying tissue and removes excess fat. As a result, your face will appear firmer and fresher.

A personal consultation is the first step for every patient considering a facelift. During this meeting, Dr. McKim will assess your physical and emotional health and discuss your specific cosmetic goals for surgery. He will assess your bone structure and the underlying tissues of the face. The thickness, texture and elasticity of your skin and the severity of the wrinkles and folds will be also be considered. Your hairline will be examined to determine where incisions can be discreetly placed. All of these factors will be considered in developing your surgical plan.

One of the most important parts of your consultation is the discussion that you and your surgeon will have about the possible complications of facelift surgery. In addition to listening carefully to what he tells you, be sure to raise any questions you may have at this time.
