Best Facelift in Tampa

Facelift surgery, also known as a rhytidectomy, can help bring to the surface, the youthful glow that you feel on the inside, and enhance your natural beauty. The procedure varies depending on your desired result and can include the redistribution of fat from the face, jowls, and neck to help contour the face.

There are Four basic tenets to achieving a natural age-appropriate facelift and they start from the inside out:

• First, muscles loosen, and fat sags over time. The solution is to resuspend or return the tissue to its original position. For example, jowls occur as a result of the muscle and fat sagging below the jawline from the cheek.
• Second, aging results in volume loss. The key is to volumize withering tissues. We love to use any excess fat you may have anywhere on your body to naturally and permanently replace lost volume in the face. Remember those plump cheeks when you were young?
• Third, aging causes sagging extra skin. Once the tissues are repositioned underneath and the volume is restored, the skin is then naturally re-draped over the youthful you. Please notice, there is no pulling which can create an unnatural distorted look that does not last! The Joker is not a good look.
• Fourth, skin loses its elasticity over time. Pre- and post-facelift treatments such as lasers, and skincare regimens are key to a successful outcome and longevity of results. Imagine a quality Rolls-Royce that’s unpainted and not maintained. Painting finishes off the beautiful automobile, and washing and waxing maintain its beauty. Creating a plan for beautiful skin finishes off the facelift.

Great outcomes are all about the fine details. We hide incisions into your hairline so that only you and Dr. Ambay know you had a facelift and you can leave everyone else to guess why you look so refreshed. Any sutures that have the potential to be visible are removed early or dissolvable.

The type of incisions will depend on whether it is a:

• Traditional facelift whereby incisions begin in the hairline at the temples and continue around the ear and end in the lower scalp.
• Mini-lift procedure that requires shorter incisions from the temple and continues around the ear.
• Neck lift that requires a much shorter incision starting in the front of the ear lobe and continues around the ear.

It is important that you work with a plastic surgeon who understands and has the same aesthetic vision as you to ensure your desired outcome is achieved. At Ambay Plastic Surgery we place great emphasis on listening with patient-centered care to ensure the best surgical outcome.
