Facelift / Necklift (Rhytidectomy)

Facelift and necklift surgery, or a rhytidectomy, is designed to restore a more youthful appearance by removing wrinkles and sagging skin. A younger, renewed appearance is achieved by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and re-draping the skin of the face and neck. Its most dramatic rejuvenating effects are the reduction in sagging cheeks and jowls, and the repair of the “turkey” neck. Please call us for a consultation if you are considering getting a Facelift or Necklift in Ventura, Ca.

Facelift / Necklift Consultation

During a facelift consultation, Dr. Bern covers a number of important decisions related to the facelift procedure.  Chief among these are whether the patient would benefit most from a mini-facelift, a neck lipusuction alone, or a full-face and necklift. Placement of surgical scars is another important consideration.

We also encourage our patients to check out a website devoted to face and neck lifts which we participate in. Faceforum.com contains thousands of pre and post operative photos.

Some patients opt for rejuvenation of the eyelids, forehead, lips and skin at the same time as a facelift or necklift.  We are happy to answer questions about the role of eyelid lifts, forehead lifts, lip rejuvenation and laser skin resurfacing during your consultation.
