Facial rejuvenation should encompass more than just reversing aging; it should also enhance your most confident self. When performed by an esteemed professional like Dr. Michael Chung, our facelift in McKinney can achieve just that.
What is a Facelift?
A facelift, medically known as a rhytidectomy, is a transformative surgical procedure designed to restore youthful definition to the face by lifting and repositioning the deeper structures that naturally descend with age.
Over time, the face undergoes:
- Diminished skin elasticity
- Dropping of facial fat and volume
- Loosening of supportive tissues
- Formation of jowls, deep folds, and sagging skin
Dr. Chung specializes in the composite SMAS, or “deep plane,” facelift, an advanced technique considered the gold standard in modern facial rejuvenation. Sometimes referred to as a “preservation facelift,” this approach goes beyond simply tightening the skin. Instead, it:
- Lifts and repositions the SMAS and deep facial layers for natural, longer-lasting results
- Releases key facial ligaments to restore smooth, unrestricted movement
- Preserves facial integrity, avoiding the “pulled” or artificial look of older methods
- Provides a harmonious rejuvenation of the lower two-thirds of the face with elegant, youthful contours
