NATURAL FACELIFT

Dr. Chandler received specialty training in the latest facial rejuvenation techniques during her fellowship at Harvard Medical School. She uses an individualized approach, depending on the unique needs of each patient, to help men and women throughout Connecticut and New York achieve a younger, more refreshed appearance. The aging process has a variable effect on the facial architecture depending on individual anatomy, and the treatment plan is tailored to each individual.

When performing a face and neck lift, Dr. Chandler separates the skin from the underlying deeper muscle/fascia layer (SMAS) to tighten each layer separately, eliminating the jowls while avoiding excess tension on the skin to create a youthful and natural shape to the face. She will separately address the neck musculature and use advanced techniques to eliminate bands and remove the surface laxity to smooth the jawline. The ultimate goal is to achieve a natural result, preserving identity while providing a more rejuvenated appearance to the face and neck. 

A surgical facelift and/or neck lift is the ideal choice for patients who are bothered by jowls (excess drooping skin in the lower part of the cheek) and/or neck skin laxity or excess, with or without vertical platysmal banding in the neck. Excess fatty tissue in the region of the neck below the chin (submental fat) can be treated simultaneously or separately with liposuction. If you are not ready for surgery, you may benefit from nonsurgical techniques such as microneedling, chemical peels, advanced skin care, or treatment of fine lines with Botox or injectable fillers to address signs of aging. You may also benefit from combining these techniques with a surgical facelift or neck lift. During your consultation, Dr. Chandler will analyze your individual needs, discuss your goals and come up with a comprehensive and customized treatment plan.
