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. He does not perform breast or body plastic surgery. Dr. Kolstad’s practice is fully devoted to plastic surgery of the face and neck. This narrow focus of expertise distinguishes Dr. Kolstad from many of his peers who did not complete advanced fellowships in Facial Plastic Surgery. Because his practice is focused on the rejuvenation of the face and neck, Dr. Kolstad has many years of experience and expertise designing Face and Neck Llifts that are individually tailored to fit his patients’ individual needs and unique facial anatomy.

During your consultation, you will have the opportunity to address your concerns and dislikes about your appearance. 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. Many patients benefit from Facial Fat Transfer to restore lost volume, and occasionally a Platysmaplasty or Submentoplasty are required to get the best results. You will be amazed by his knowledge of available techniques, and you will help him choose which treatment strategy works best for you.

The best way to understand Dr. Kolstad’s goals for facelift is by studying his results. We have hundreds of before and after pictures in our galleries and we invite you to study them.
