San Diego Face & Neck Lift Specialist | La Jolla Facelift Plastic Surgeon
Are you looking to turn back time and reverse signs of aging? There is no procedure that can better reverse the effects of time and gravity than a Lower Face and Neck Lift. Facelift surgery is the ultimate solution for rejuvenating and refreshing the appearance of your lower face and neck. By lifting and tightening the appearance of sagging jowls, falling cheeks, and loose neck skin, a Facelift surgery dramatically redefines and restores the youthful contours of your lower face and neck. There are many different methods to tighten and re-drape tissues that have sagged and succumbed to the forces of gravity over time. Every patient ages differently and recognizing the best combination of techniques takes years of training and experience.
With so many Facelift surgeons in San Diego, it can be hard to find the right one. Dr. Kolstad is a Double Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon in San Diego specializing in Facelift surgery.

Dr. Kolstad will then walk you through a step-by-step approach on what can be done to improve the appearance of your lower face, neck, and jawline. Dr. Kolstad offers a variety of complementary procedures to match your features and create the best facial rejuvenation strategy for you.
