Cosmetic Surgery
Your face is often the first and most noticeable area to reflect the signs of aging. As you age, your skin loses elasticity and many feel self conscious about their overall appearance. A facelift is a surgical procedure that can help eliminate the signs of aging and help you look years younger. Some patients may be a good candidate for a liquid facelift performed by contouring and volumizing with injected fillers. Patients in and around Bellevue and Kirkland, WA have found that a facelift by Dr. McIntosh is a life-changing experience.
Facelift Surgery FAQs
How Are Facelift Surgical Procedures Performed?
The facelift procedure is a bit different for every patient. For most patients, the procedure will tighten sagging skin, including the jowl area if it is excessively loose. Dr. McIntosh works with his patients individually to determine the best course of action for optimal results.
The details of the facelift surgery can be quite simple. The skin is freed from the underlying tissue and then pulled back and up. All excess is removed, giving the patient a more taut look with diminished wrinkles.
A face-lift can take up to eight hours, though in most cases, the procedure is considerably shorter. Some healing time is required, but the result of a facelift procedure is immediately noticed.
How Much Does A Facelift Cost?
The price of a facelift varies for each patient. Only after a consultation with the doctor will you better understand what you can expect to pay. Dr. McIntosh offers patient financing and accepts all major credit cards.

- At or near an ideal weight
- Free of health conditions that increase complications
