in Santa Rosa
An expert facelift is Dr. Chernoff's specialty. Discover how you can get involved.
What Is a Facelift?
A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgery aimed at reducing the visible signs of aging on the skin. If you're noticing lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and jowls, a facelift performed by Dr. Chernoff can enhance your appearance while delivering natural-looking results.
As people enter their forties and fifties, their faces begin to show the effects of aging. The aging process, combined with environmental factors and gravity, can lead to diminished muscle tone, wrinkles, folds, loss of facial volume, and sagging jowls in both men and women.
A facelift can effectively address these aging signs while maintaining a natural appearance. Dr. Greg Chernoff, a triple board-certified facial plastic surgeon, has extensive experience in performing facelifts that rejuvenate the face, restoring a healthy, refreshed, and youthful look.
Dr. Chernoff tailors each facelift to the patient’s unique aesthetic goals and signs of aging, using a range of advanced techniques and treatments to achieve optimal, natural-looking, and lasting results.
What Is Dr. Chernoff’s Combination Deep Plane SMAS Facelift?
Dr. Chernoff, along with other leading Facial Plastic Surgeons, now perform facelifts that incorporate the Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System (SMAS). The SMAS is a layer of dense connective tissue in the face, situated between the subcutaneous fat above and the muscles responsible for facial expressions below.
For patients experiencing significant facial aging, Dr. Chernoff utilizes a surgical technique known as the Deep Plane SMAS Facelift. This advanced approach includes:
- Releasing ligaments and repositioning muscle and fat layers
- Lifting tissues
- Removing excess skin
Dr. Chernoff customizes each facelift to match the patient’s unique anatomy and needs. The benefits of a personalized Deep Plane facelift by Dr. Chernoff include marked improvements in:
- Facial volume
- Cheek contour
- Sagging skin
- Jawline definition
- Restoring the natural shape of the face
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Facelift?
Dr. Greg Chernoff and the facial enhancement team at Chernoff Cosmetic Surgery in Santa Rosa, CA, suggest that both men and women may benefit from a surgical facelift if they are experiencing signs of facial aging. These signs are often a result of natural aging, including loss of facial volume and decreased skin elasticity. Common indicators that a facelift may be beneficial include:
- Sagging skin and muscles from the cheeks to the jawline
- Wrinkles and folds around the nose and mouth
- Double chin or loose skin around the jawline
- Heavy or sunken cheeks, with volume loss in the cheeks and around the mouth
The rate and pattern of facial and neck aging differ among individuals due to factors such as genetics, ethnicity, environmental exposure, and skincare routines.
The first step in considering a facelift is to schedule a private consultation with Dr. Greg Chernoff to discuss your facial appearance and enhancement goals. During this consultation, Dr. Chernoff will determine if you are a suitable candidate for a facelift and whether this procedure is the best option to achieve your desired results. Ideal candidates should be in good overall health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations and a positive outlook.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to discuss them with Dr. Chernoff or his team of facial enhancement specialists.
