Surgical facial rejuvenation (facelift or rhytidectomy) remains the fundamental treatment to address and improve the anatomic changes associated with facial aging. Over time, the cumulative damage of the sun, aging, and gravity can unfavorably affect the appearance of the face.

Why choose a Board Certified Surgeon?
Selecting a plastic surgeon in Los Gatos & San Jose is a vital part of planning your cosmetic or reconstructive surgery, and the surgeon you choose will ultimately impact your results. Dr. Jerome Liu and Dr. Tom Liu recommend that anyone contemplating breast augmentation, tummy tuck, or any other plastic surgery options spend extra time researching the qualifications of the surgeons under consideration. While many surgeons offer cosmetic or reconstructive procedures, only board-certified plastic surgeons undergo specialized training in these areas of medicine.
Tom S. Liu, MD, MBA
Dr. Liu has carefully honed his surgical philosophy, which is focused on producing natural, lasting results. He believes in the restoration of youth, rather than total transformation of a patient's natural appearance. Upon meeting his patients in consultation, Dr. Liu provides a thorough aesthetic assessment before leveraging advanced surgical techniques to produce an optimal outcome.

What is a Facelift?
A facelift is designed to restore internal support for the face by lifting and repositioning sagging tissue, thereby restoring a younger-looking version of yourself. During a facelift, facial features are replaced to their normal location. The underlying anatomy of the face is highlighted to restore a refreshed and natural appearance. In patients with volume loss or deflated features, volume can be replenished with additional procedures. Combined, this strategy provides a balanced and natural rejuvenation of the face that lessens the effects of time and restores a more youthful appearance.
Is a Facelift Right for Me?
A facelift is most successful for healthy patients who have realistic expectations for the outcome of surgery. If you exhibit signs of facial aging you would like to improve, such as hanging skin along the jawline and neck, a facelift (with or without complementary facial rejuvenation treatments) may benefit you. Those interested in a facelift should also be non-smokers, or willing to quit smoking before and after the procedure. To provide the most optimal results, you and Dr. Jerome Liu or Dr. Tom Liu will discuss your concerns at length to ensure a mutual understanding of surgical goals and desires for the outcome.
