On either side of the chin are ligaments which hold the skin more tightly against the jawbone (mandible). This is where, and why, 'jowls' develop. I have also observed that many people develop both atrophy of soft tissues and slight recession of the mandible between the chin and the jowl area, which serves to exaggerate the appearance of jowls.
The surgical procedure that has traditionally been referred to as a' facelift' involves mobilizing the skin and soft tissues of the lower face and jawline (and in most cases, the neck), and advancing them upward and laterally to eliminate sagging (jowls) and provide the appearance of improved skin tone. The excess skin is removed.
What is currently referred to as a facelift usually means some combination of surgical lower face rejuvenation with procedures that are designed The combination of procedures to improve other facial aesthetic areasI perform on any patient are customized for that individual's specific needs and desires, and thus no two 'facelifts' are exactly alike.
Because I don't perform "cookie cutter" surgery it wold be impossibale for me to provide a price list. For patients comimg from differennt areas, we can have on occassiona a consultation by phone with photos you have sent. This will not enable to to give you an exact price, but a goo estimate of the cost.
In most cases when a plastic surgeon doesn't have a price list it is bceause he or she knows each patients face will be unique and the procedure therefore will not be the same.
