Look Younger With Facial Rejuvenation Treatment in Danvers

A facelift can erase years of aging and is indicated in patients who present with significant skin laxity over the cheeks and jowls areas. Dr. Hertl (http://www.catherinehertl.com) performs a vertical facelift to reposition sagging tissues using discrete incisions. An S-shaped incision is made in the sideburn then behind the tragus, under the earlobe, and up onto the back of the ear to optimally conceal scarring. Lifting can be combined with careful localized liposuction of the jaw and neck to enhance the results. Mild laxity or volume loss in this area is best treated with a liquid facelift utilizing  fillers such as Radiesse or your own fat. 





Generally, the face and neck can be divided into 4 zones and each zone will be addressed with respect to skin texture, pore size, discolorations, lesions, wrinkles, volume loss, pore size and skin laxity. 

The upper facelift includes the forehead and eye areas. Common problems in this area include forehead and glabellar wrinkles, eyebrow position, crow’s feet, upper and lower eyelid skin laxity, bulging fat in the eyelids, and temporal wasting.

The midface includes the cheeks and nose and is evaluated for cheek descent, volume loss, and nasolabial folds.

The lower face fillers includes the lips, corners of the mouth, chin and jawline. Common problems associated with aging in this zone include Marionette lines, drooping of the corners of the mouth, volume loss in the lips, loss of the white roll at the margins of the lip, radial lip lines,

The fourth zone is the neck and will be evaluated for skin laxity, platysmal bands, and prominent horitzontal wrinkles.
