Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation Services

FACELIFT (Rhytidectomy)

Turn Back Time with Chicago's Most Advanced Facelift Techniques

A facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, is Dr. Epstein’s signature procedure that rejuvenates your entire face, helping you look like a younger, more refreshed version of yourself. This transformative anti-aging solution reverses the effects of time by removing excess skin, lifting sagging facial tissue, and smoothing deep folds and wrinkles.

You might benefit from a facelift if you have
  • Deepening folds between your nose and mouth (nasolabial folds)
  • Sagging facial skin and jowls
  • Lost facial volume creating hollows
  • Deep wrinkles and fine lines
  • Overall tired or aged appearance

Dr. Epstein’s Facelift Advantage

As THE Facelift Surgeon, Dr. Epstein employs cutting-edge techniques that ensure natural-looking results with minimal scarring. His incisions are strategically placed along the ear and hairline, hidden in natural skin creases. The procedure involves lifting and repositioning underlying muscle and tissue, removing or reshaping fat, and re-draping skin over your new facial contours.

NECK LIFT

Achieve a Smooth, Defined Neckline
A neck lift addresses the often-overlooked but crucial area that can dramatically age your appearance. Dr. Epstein’s neck lift procedures create a more youthful, defined jawline and eliminate the dreaded “turkey neck.”
Ideal candidates for a neck lift have
  • Excess skin and fat under the chin and along the neck
  • Double chin or prominent jowls
  • Diminished skin elasticity due to aging or weight loss
  • Vertical banding or muscle laxity in the neck
  • Desire for a more defined and youthful-looking neck and jawline

BLEPHAROPLASTY (Eyelid Surgery)

Rejuvenate Your Eyes for a More Energized Appearance

Dr. Epstein’s eyelid surgery removes excess skin and lifts sagging eyelids to rejuvenate your eyes, making you look younger and more energized. This procedure can address both upper and lower eyelids.

Benefits of eyelid surgery
  • Eliminates droopy, sagging upper eyelids
  • Reduces under-eye bags and puffiness
  • Smooths wrinkles around the eyes
  • Creates a more alert, youthful appearance
  • Can improve vision obstructed by sagging upper lids

BROW LIFT (Forehead Lift)

Elevate Your Expression
A brow lift addresses sagging eyebrows and forehead wrinkles, creating a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Dr. Epstein customizes each brow lift to enhance your natural facial features.
You may benefit from a brow lift if you have:
  • Sagging or drooping eyebrows due to aging
  • Genetically low brows
  • Asymmetrical or irregularly shaped eyebrows
  • Deep forehead wrinkles
  • A tired appearance in the upper face
  • Desire for enhanced natural facial beauty
Brow Lift vs. Upper Eyelid Surgery:
Many patients wonder which procedure is right for them. A brow lift elevates the brows but doesn’t address eyelid skin, while an upper eyelid lift removes excess eyelid skin but doesn’t change brow position. Dr. Epstein will help you determine the best approach during your consultation.
