Unlike traditional facelifts that rely on pulling the skin to obtain the lift, in our natural facelift in Alpharetta, tissues underneath the skin are tightened instead, followed by a gentle re-draping of the facial and neck skin over the tightened tissues. Excess skin is still removed, but because we don’t rely on pulling the skin to get the lift, we can avoid a pulled or overdone appearance every time. Because the skin isn’t pulled tightly, there is less tension on the incision when sutured back together.
When skin is pulled too tightly, it can not only give a person a pulled look, but it also causes the scars to widen and become unsightly. This is a problem for women who wear their hair up when working out or for men who have short hair. By avoiding this stress on the skin with the natural facelift, the incisions heal almost invisibly, allowing the person to wear their hair any way they want.
