Facelift

Many men and women notice visible aging in the lower face and neck beginning in their 40s or 50s. While changes to the skin and structure of the face are normal parts of the aging process, they can lead to feeling self-conscious. A facelift can be used to rejuvenate your face and neck, which can show some of the first signs of aging.

A facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that can counteract specific signs of aging, such as deep creases and loose folds of skin. During a facelift the muscles are tightened, fat is removed and excess skin is carefully trimmed. Patients choose the facelift procedure for a more youthful and fresher look. The facelift procedure is performed under light intravenous sedation in the comfort and safety of the Azul Surgical Arts Center. All surgeries are supervised by board-certified anesthesiologists to ensure the highest level of safety for all patients.

At Azul Cosmetic Surgery and Medical Spa, our goal is to create a harmonious and fresh-looking appearance using the least invasive methods possible. A harmonious result is one that unifies the entire face and neck, creating long-lasting results and high levels of patient satisfaction. In the past, facial rejuvenation procedures often addressed only certain features while leaving other areas of facial aging untouched. These “partial” rejuvenation procedures often accentuated the appearance of the untreated areas, resulting in an incomplete or asymmetrical rejuvenation.

For those seeking cosmetic surgery, there are plenty of plastic surgeons in Southwest Florida. But unlike many plastic surgeons, Dr. Patrick Flaharty limits his focus solely to facial cosmetic surgery. He has more than twenty years in practice, and has helped reshape and rejuvenate the faces of thousands of southwest Florida men and women. He is a board-certified ophthalmologist who relies on his aesthetic knowledge and practical skill to bring his patients’ goals to life with safe, long-lasting products and services. Having performed over 20,000 facial plastic and cosmetic procedures, Dr. Flaharty is one of a small group of Facial Cosmetic Surgeons with the education, training, and experience to give you the natural results you want and restore the youthful look you deserve.

For the first time ever, four sisters came into Dr. Flaharty’s office with wishes to get facelifts together. Colette, Terry, Sharon, and Connie grew up in a tight-knit family of seven children, raised in Illinois. Between the ages of 58-69, the sisters always stayed close and met at least once a year for a sisters’ vacation. Recently, each sister had been thinking about “having something done”.

Each of the sisters seems to have a personal perspective on their new look. It might be a husband’s comment about being beautiful, or a friend asking if it’s a new hairstyle, or kids that think you look fantastic. But, to a person, most importantly, each woman feels happier, more energetic, younger, perkier, and attractive again.

“I remember she told me how impressed she was with him and that if I ever did anything like that in the future, I had to give him a call. So, I did. Once Terry knew that I had scheduled a consultation with him, she wanted one too. Dr. Flaharty’s office was able to get us both in with back-to-back appointments so Terry flew down and we went together. Afterwards, we scheduled our surgeries a few days apart. Terry took care of me and three days later I took care of her. We were texting pictures to Connie and Colette on the way home from the surgery center!” -Sharon
