The Straith Clinic doctors specialize in facelifts (face lifts), for
Michigan women and men from all areas of Detroit, including
Bloomfield Hills, Royal Oak, Shelby Township, Grosse Pointe,
Dearborn and Novi. The Straith Clinic doctors also specialize
in neck lifts for men and women in Michigan who want to
rejuvenate their aging face. There are many surgical procedures
available to rejuvenate the aging face. Deciding on the best
procedure will depend on the surgeon's expertise, the patient's
goal, the structure of the face, and the condition of the skin.
Each patient is unique and requires a specific approach. A surgeon
must be properly trained in all techniques to be able to offer
the patient the best choice.
The traditional face lift uses a combination of techniques that
target the sagging skin of the cheeks, jawline, and neck area. The
face lift usually lifts the cheeks, softens the nasolabial lines,
eliminates jowling, removes fat from the neck, and thightens the
neck skin. In general, it gives a more youthful appearance to the
entire face. The result is longer lasting, but requires more
recovery when compared to the ‘mini’ techniques.
A face lift can be broken down into two separate procedures: a
cheek lift and a neck lift. These procedures can be performed
in isolation when only a specific area of the face needs to
be addressed. A cheek lift focuses its improvement on lifting
the upper cheeks, softening the nasolabial folds, and improving
the jowls. A neck lift in isolation will help to remove fat
and tighten skin below the jaw line.
