Each one of us ages differently. The effects of gravity, sun, and genetics all come into play to varying degrees in the changing texture of our skin and shape of our face. Many of Dr. Godwin’s patients come to him complaining of loose or sagging facial or neck skin; and a tired, aged look. They felt they look older than their actual age. Dr. Godwin offers several treatments to treat the appearance of an aging face—from non-surgical Botox and fillers, and lasers, to more invasive facial rejuvenation surgeries like neck liposuction, neck lift, and mini or full facelift.

Face Lift

A well-performed facelift doesn’t change who you are—it restores the youthful, vibrant version of yourself that time has altered. If sagging skin, deep wrinkles, jowls, or loss of definition make you look older than you feel, a facelift with Dr. Kenneth A. Godwin can reverse these visible signs of aging and bring back a refreshed, natural, and confident appearance.

Facelifts are not just for patients over 65—many women (and men) in their 40s and 50s choose this procedure to stay ahead of aging and maintain a firm, youthful face. With advances in technique, facelifts today are subtle, natural, and long-lasting—ensuring you still look like yourself, just rejuvenated.

Procedure

A facelift is the gold standard in facial rejuvenation, proven to effectively address the visible signs of aging, especially in the mid-face. A facelift restores a youthful appearance without altering your natural features by tightening underlying tissues and re-draping the skin. Unlike non-invasive treatments, which offer only temporary or subtle improvements, a facelift provides lasting, dramatic results that truly reverse the effects of aging.

Dr. Godwin employs specialized techniques to hide scars within the hairline and behind the ears, ensuring a discreet, seamless result. Excess skin and fat are removed or repositioned while underlying tissue and muscle are lifted and tightened. The skin is then repositioned to reduce sagging and create a natural, harmonious appearance.

Recovery

For your best recovery, conscientious adherence to instructions is advised. There will be swelling, bruising, and tightness, and no strenuous activities are allowed for 1-2 weeks. Swelling typically recedes in a month or so. Six months may be needed for full benefits.
