For women all over the world, aging can be a very traumatic experience. Though this is a natural process we all go through, it does bring about changes in our appearance that we may not readily welcome. We may still feel and act young, but our skin can sometimes make us appear to be older than our actual age.

The main reason that skin begins to look older is that it loses elasticity as we age. This can bring about sagging skin around the eyes, nose and jawline. This may occur gradually over several years or there may even be dramatic changes in the skin within only a few years. The rate at which skin ages may be determined by the environment, how skin is care for over the years and even heredity.

Fortunately, there are steps that can be taken to help skin appear younger and healthier. There are different types of procedures that can be done to help erase years from the face. One of the most successful has been the combination facelift.

The combination facelift performed by Center for Facial Surgery in Langhorne, PA is different than a traditional facelift in that it is less invasive and requires less time to heal. This process is done by inserting thin threads (known as Silhouette Threads)into the areas of the face where the skin is sagging. This may include the forehead, sides of the nose and jowls. if necessary, these threads can be inserted on numerous areas of the skin.

Once the threads are inserted and tightened, the skin will regain a more healthy, youthful appearance. Not as much skin needs to actually be removed as in traditional facelifts. The threads help hold skin in place so the results last longer.

Another great aspect of the Bucks County combination facelift is that the threads can be adjusted as needed. In later years, after the procedure is completed, The skin can be tightened up again should sagging occur as the patient ages more. This can be done with only a minor incision that will heal quickly and easily.
