San Francisco Facelift

Has your face lost elasticity, which has caused it to sag and wrinkle? San Francisco facelift specialist Joseph A. Mele, M.D., F.A.C.S. of Walnut Creek, California, can help you attain natural-looking results with facial cosmetic surgery.

Dr. Mele is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) and the American Board of Surgery (ABS). He is also a member of various organizations, such as the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).

Some of the facial rejuvenation procedures that San Francisco cosmetic surgeon Dr. Mele offers, includes:

  • Facelift "rhytidectomy": This is a procedure that alleviates wrinkles and sagging in the face and the neck. Typically, for a full facelift, Dr. Mele will make an incision around the hairline, remove excess fat and skin, and then pull the skin back for a firmer, and more youthful look. Dr. Mele combines his skillful artistry with experience and knowledge to produce natural-looking, beautiful results for the patient.

  • Brow Lift ("forehead lift"): This procedure is designed to smooth out wrinkles and sagging along the forehead and expression lines above the nose. An incision is made above the hairline (in some cases, toward the middle of the scalp) and Dr. Mele will pull back and tighten the skin. A brow lift is commonly done in conjunction with other procedures in order to gain a harmonious balance.

  • Eyelid Surgery ("blepharoplasty"): Designed to treat the delicate skin around the upper and/or lower eyelids, which may have begun to sag and wrinkle, blepharoplasty will help to rejuvenate and refresh your appearance. Dr. Mele, a San Francisco eyelid surgery specialist, utilizes this procedure to improve vision, enhance the appearance of the eyes, and potentially restore a person's self-confidence.
