Face lift surgery is offered to enhance our patients’ best features while eliminating telltale signs of aging. A face lift corrects unflattering folds, wrinkles, lines, and overall sagging in the facial skin, and has an incredibly rejuvenating effect. To learn more about the face lift procedure, contact the Fairfield County practice of Dr. David Passaretti. Dr. Passaretti and our team will discuss the surgery, as well as its risks and benefits, during a comprehensive consultation.

Face lift surgery is always performed while the patient is under anesthesia. After making several incisions, typically above the hairline, Dr. Passaretti separates the facial skin from the underlying tissue and uses small surgical instruments and precise movements to remove excess fat and skin and tighten the facial muscles. Wrinkles are smoothed, and sagging skin is lifted. Dr. Passaretti is extremely meticulous and takes great care to ensure that the results are natural-looking and complimentary of his patient. He sutures the skin into place, and the transformation is complete!
There are several types of face lift procedures, each with a different scope. These include:
Mid Face lift: Addresses the skin around the lower eyelids and cheeks, which can droop, sag, and wrinkle.
Lower Face lift: Treats wrinkles and lines around the lower third of the face, including the mouth, jawline, and neck.
Mini Face lift: Performed quickly using the endoscopic technique; treats small targeted areas of sagging and droopiness (e.g., the neck or the folds of the nose).
The face lift is a versatile procedure that addresses many common concerns of aging patients; it smoothes wrinkles and lines (such as crows’ feet or marionette lines around the mouth), it tightens loose skin around the eyes, and it eliminates excess drooping skin around the chin or neck. Because of these rejuvenating effects, our facelift patients typically report increased levels of self-confidence. If you’d like to return to a more youthful-looking facial appearance, we invite you to explore your face lift options with Dr. Passaretti.
