Royal College-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Derek Ford performs facelift and neck lift procedures to address the numerous age-related changes that affect these areas. Wrinkles, lines, loss of volume, and skin and muscle laxity all combine to create the look we associate with an aging face. Face and neck lift address these concerns in a comprehensive way, one that goes beyond skin tightening. Today's techniques reshape the face and neck and create a more youthful, streamlined facial contour by tightening the underlying muscles of the face. Dr. Ford has trained with several of the world's most renowned pioneers in facial surgery and can offer numerous less-invasive options. He also teaches facelift surgery at the University of Toronto, so he remains at the forefront of research and technology. He uses a customized approach for each patient, adjusting the details of surgery to create the precise result desired. Because aging often affects more than the lower face, many patients choose to combine their facelift and neck lift procedures with eyelid surgery. This procedure, which may be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, restores a refreshed, more youthful look to the upper face. Together, a facelift, neck lift, and eyelid surgery provide a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Combining procedures reduces exposure to anesthetic, overall costs, and recovery time (compared with having each procedure performed separately).
