Maryland FaceLift (Rhytidectomy)

Replenish is located in Elkton, Maryland and specializes in facelift skin rejuvenation procedures. As the years pass by, have you noticed that your face looks tired, less vibrant, and significantly older?  Are there folds and creases around your cheeks and mouth, a loss of muscle tone in the lower face, or loose skin and fatty deposits under the jaw that make you appear to have jowls and a ‘double chin’?  Do you see flattening and less volume of your cheeks?  If so, you may have been thinking about how you can restore your youthful appearance. A facelift may be the answer you are looking for. 

Rejuvenation of the cheeks, jaw line, neck and jowls can be accomplished with a procedure known as a rhytidectomy—commonly called a facelift.  A facelift corrects sagging facial skin and muscles, removes excess fat, and restores firmness to create a more rested and vibrant appearance. In addition, the jawline is firmed up and refined, and the cheeks are restored to a youthful position.

In the past, patients were concerned that they would have a ‘plastic’ or pulled look after surgery. That is no longer the case. We take an artistic approach to personalize the surgery for each individual. Often, no one can tell that you have had a facelift, yet you can look up to ten years younger.  The average facelift can last 10 to 15 years and follow-up procedures can be performed to keep you looking your best for many years to come.

The “Replenish Lift” is directed toward patients who desire a shorter recovery time. Proven techniques are combined with skin tightening laser treatments to maximize results and minimize recovery.  We use this technique to restore fullness to the cheeks, reverse midface sagging, and redefine the jaw line and neck areas.  The Lipotherme® laser is used to both smooth and tighten the skin, and to minimize post-operative swelling and bruising.  This is achieved through the specific effect of the laser delicately breaking fibrous connections and sealing blood vessels.  Generally, patients in their late 40’s and older can rejuvenate before advanced aging sets in.  They are able to look as good as they feel and rejuvenate while their body still has the metabolic capacity for less downtime.

Patients with more severe aging can benefit from more comprehensive techniques. Contact our cosmetic clinic in Elkton, Maryland!
