Face Lift in Buffalo, NY
Facelift Surgery, also known as Rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to lift and firm the skin, providing a fresh, youthful appearance. Dr. Shatkin and his team of skin care specialists believe in “Combination Rejuvenation” which essentially means correcting aging changes related to changes in the surface of the skin as well as laxity. These corrections often require pre- surgical treatment of the skin to achieve the maximal result and final outcome.
Since our skin is affected by the sun’s radiation, stress, gravity, and other factors cause it to sag and fit more loosely, areas of the face and neck, in particular around the jaw line, are especially prone to the aging process. Though these changes are gradual, wrinkles and other signs of aging can make individuals “feel older” than they really are.
