Loose facial skin, jowls and drooping muscles are corrected for a revitalized, youthful appearance. Often the neck muscles and the tissues surrounding the facial muscles must be tightened along with the skin to achieve the best results. This is accomplished through various methods of face and neck lifting. Dr. Bandy evaluates the elements involved in the aging process, and uses state of the art techniques to tailor the precise surgery to obtain the best result for each person. Facial wrinkles and skin color changes are corrected with laser resurfacing or chemical peels, depending on the skin type and degree of aging. Some wrinkles can be treated with an injection of "botox" to temporarily stop the action of the muscles producing the wrinkles.
