Facelift Kansas City, KS

Oftentimes, the effects of aging, gravity, the sun, stress, or smoking can make a person look older than they truly are. This individual might consider undergoing some type of facelift surgery ("rhytidectomy"). A facelift helps to correct loose, hanging skin of the neck and jowls. Jeffrey W. Colyer, M.D. is an Overland Park facelift surgeon who can help you achieve younger, more refreshed-looking skin with this surgical procedure.

Facial plastic surgeon Dr. Colyer is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), as well as a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). His humanitarian work as a volunteer for the International Medical Corps has gained him media attention, such as in People magazine and on 60 Minutes. At his practice, Plastic Surgical Arts, individuals interested in undergoing a facelift in Kansas City, KS, Kansas City, MO or Overland Park and, can anticipate exceptional personal care in a private, relaxed atmosphere.

The Facelift Procedure

During a full facelift, Dr. Colyer will make an incision in front of and behind the ear going into the posterior of the scalp. This allows the scars to be hidden. Then, he will remove excess skin, and the underlying muscle and fatty tissue will be mobilized upwards. In more severe cases of excess fat, SmartLipo using a laser and a long, hollow device called a cannula can be used to remove fatty tissue.

If you want to make minor improvements to your appearance, improving advanced facial aging in the mid-face, cheek, and lower eyelid, a mid facelift ("mini facelift") may be more appropriate for you. A mini facelift entails a smaller incision in front of the ear, the removal of skin surplus, and lifting of the tissue under the skin. This is ideal for men and women who have minimal excess skin in the mid-facial region and are just showing the beginning signs of jowling.

For exceptional facial rejuvenation results, a full or mini facelift procedure can be performed along with complementary procedures, such as eyelid surgery ("blepharoplasty") or SmartLipo T on the neck. Dr. Colyer also performs fractional skin resurfacing, which can improve the texture and appearance of the skin using a laser to target damaged and aging skin.
