If you are considering a facelift in Encino California contact board certified plastic surgeon Saul Berger. A facelift (technically known as rhytidectomy) can't stop this aging process. It can improve the most visible signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and redraping the skin of your face and neck. A facelift can be done alone, or in conjunction with other procedures such as a forehead lift, eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping.
