No matter how well you stay out of the sun and care for your skin, everyone eventually succumbs to gravity and lost facial volume. While facial volume loss produces a hollow appearance around the eyes and in the cheeks, gravity causes the skin to sag and create the appearance of jowls and “turkey neck. Fortunately Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Victor Perez can help restore your youthful beauty and self-confidence with a facelift or neck lift in Overland Park, KS.

What Is a Facelift?
Facelifts are surgical facial procedures that address the signs of aging in the lower face and neck. The procedure can result in a more youthful and defined jawline. While the facelift procedure addresses the lower facial structures, Dr. Perez may recommend separate procedures, such as an eyelid lift, to address issues in the upper face.
A facelift can provide an elegant facial contour if you have begun to notice gradual sagging around your jawline. Dr. Perez has extensive experience performing these complex procedures, and he understands how to create optimal results for every patient. When you meet personally with Dr. Perez, he will evaluate your unique situation and develop a customized treatment plan that is tailored specifically for you and your unique goals.
