Facelift
We all remember our youthful physique. Over time, aging, gravity, sun damage, and stress can cause the face to lose its youthful form and elasticity, resulting in the formation of deep creases, folds, wrinkling, laxity of the jaw line, and droopy cheeks. Glowing, youthful skin doesn’t have to be a thing of the past. Dr. Mosier will perform a Face Lift which can revitalize your skin and let you achieve smooth youthful contours of your face.
