Centrally located in Southampton, PA and serving Philadelphia, Bucks, and Montgomery Counties, The Kole Plastic Surgery Center performs facelifts for patients desiring plastic surgery.
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure to improve visible signs of aging in the face and neck. It will reshape the lower two-thirds of the face. It can tighten the skin and the underlying slack muscles to improve cheek, jowl, and neck contour. It is one of the most popular forms of facial plastic surgery. It’s most often performed on a patient over age 40 to rejuvenate the appearance.
It’s important to approach your procedure with a realistic attitude. A facelift acts to restore your original youthful appearance. It does not stop the aging process. It is recommended for people who do not smoke.
Three types of facelift procedures are in common use. Dr. Kole will recommend one of these after consulting with you about your goals for the operation.
Although facelifts may take years off your appearance, it is important to understand what can be achieved with a resulting natural look and what professional facelift procedures cannot do. It primarily affects the lower half of the face, tightening and elevating loose and lax musculature, as well as repositioning fat and elevating skin of the folds between the nose and the mouth, the marionette lines vertically from the corners of the mouth, the jaw, and the neck. A mid-facelift also lifts the cheeks and lower eyelids. No facelift procedure corrects the signs of aging in the upper face, such as crows’ feet or forehead wrinkles. It is for this reason that a facelift is often combined with other procedures from a doctor with experience—such as a forehead lift or Botox® cosmetic injections—for total facial rejuvenation.
It’s not possible to stop or reverse aging with cosmetic procedures. What can be done is to repair some of the damage to your appearance caused by the aging process.
The cost for a one varies depending on the extent of operation necessary to achieve optimum results.
The Kole Plastic Surgery Center accepts cash, check, and credit card (MasterCard®, Visa®, American Express®, Discover®) as acceptable forms of payment.

A lot can be done with non-surgical treatments for lines and wrinkles, but sometimes the effects of aging require more extensive techniques. Men and women who have folds, creases and other severe signs of aging benefit from surgery. Dr. Kole, a board certified plastic surgeon who serves men and women in Southampton, PA, Philadelphia County, Bucks County, Montgomery County and surrounding areas of Bucks County, PA, recommends facelifts in these cases.
