Detroit Facelift

Facial aging can cause an individual to appear tired and older than he or she really is. Fortunately, individuals can regain a youthful appearance, with the help of facial plastic surgery. Richard Hainer, M.D., F.A.C.S., of North Oakland Plastic Surgery in Rochester Hills, MI, is a facelift specialist who can produce natural-looking results.

A facelift can turn back the clock on your facial appearance, giving you a younger, fresher look, which can also have a positive effect on your self-confidence.

Dr. Hainer is passionate about his craft and truly believes that patient education is a very important step in preparation for any plastic surgery procedure. During an initial consultation, the two of you will discuss your options and expected outcome in order to create a personalized treatment plan.

When performing facelift surgery ("rhytidectomy"), Dr. Hainer takes into account that facial volume is lost and needs to be restored. He offers a "volumetric facelift" in order for patients to fully achieve the younger-looking appearance they desire. Since the face is a three-dimensional structure, our Detroit facelift specialist feels that simply pulling the face up and back makes it appear more two-dimensional. Therefore, Dr. Hainer includes fat transfer as a means to restore facial volume during a facelift.

Making incisions along the natural hairline and around the ears, our facelift surgeon will separate the skin from the underlying facial muscles and restore the muscle anatomy. This is followed by lifting the skin to a more youthful location, removing fat, and the trimming of excess skin. Once the incisions are closed and healed, scars will be easily hidden with the patient's own hair.

For those with minimal signs of aging and sagging skin, Dr. Hainer may recommend undergoing a mini facelift procedure.

Detroit, Rochester, and Birmingham, MI facelift patients can combine their procedure with other facial surgeries to achieve a more rejuvenated appearance. Some of the most commonly combined include nose surgery ("rhinoplasty") and browlift surgery ("forehead lift"). Depending on your individual needs, Dr. Hainer can suggest the appropriate surgical procedures that will provide an optimal outcome.
