Restore Your
Natural Radiance
Rediscover the youthful contours of your face with a customized facelift by Dr. Michael Fozo. Subtle, sophisticated results that look like you—only rested.
More Than Surgery.
It's Artistry.
You may feel vibrant and energetic at 55, yet the mirror reflects a different story. At Lakeshore Facial Plastic Surgery, we bridge that disconnect. A facelift isn't about changing who you are; it's about aligning your outer appearance with your inner vitality.
Dr. Fozo rejects the "cookie-cutter" approach. Your face is unique, and your procedure should be too. Whether you require a subtle refresh or comprehensive rejuvenation, our goal remains constant: results that are undetectable to the untrained eye. Friends will notice you look rested, not "done."
Double board certified expertise you can trust.
Techniques focused on restoring, not pulling.
Understanding the Facelift
A facelift (rhytidectomy) is the gold standard for addressing significant signs of aging in the lower face and neck.
The Aging Process
As time passes, skin loses elasticity and underlying tissues descend. This leads to jowls, deep creases, and loose skin on the neck that non-surgical treatments simply cannot correct.
The Solution
A facelift surgically repositions these underlying tissues to their youthful position and removes excess skin. It specifically targets the lower third of the face and neck.
Complementary Procedures
While a facelift addresses the lower face, it is often combined with eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) or a brow lift to rejuvenate the upper face for balanced harmony.
Tailored to Your Anatomy
Traditional Facelift
Ideal for significant aging. Incisions are discreetly placed around the ear and into the hairline, allowing for comprehensive tightening of the neck and lower face.
Mini-Lift (Short Scar)
Perfect for moderate laxity. Uses shorter incisions that stop at the earlobe. Recovery is often quicker, making it a popular choice for younger patients.
Neck Contouring
Often performed with a facelift, platysmaplasty tightens the neck muscles to eliminate vertical bands and restore a crisp, youthful jawline.
