Are you ready to turn back the clock on facial aging?
Facial aging starts in early 30s but most women do not notice any signs of it until their 40s or 50s. They would see an overall tired appearance with the face becoming bottom heavy. Specifically, droopiness in the cheeks, deep nasolabial lines (smile lines), jowls, and a full heavy neck with folds.
Facial aging is a predictable process which involves loss of facial volume (fat), relaxing of facial ligaments (drooping) and overall loss of elasticity of facial skin.
Factors such as sun exposure, changes in body weight, hormonal changes, and medical health conditions can influence the rate of facial aging. Dr. Kitto is a skilled in performing deep plane facelift which is a powerful facial rejuvenation procedure creating natural results.

What can I expect during my procedure?
In the manner of several hours 10-15 years of facial aging is reversed. Dr. Kitto prefers the technique of deep plane facelift to give her patients natural and long lasting results without changing their features and without creating “pulled” or “operated” appearance. In this case the deeper tissues of face, the SMAS layer is released, lifted and repositioned to a more youthful position. Incisions are placed in front and behind the ear. Occasionally a small incision under the chin can be placed.
My results have been amazing, and I highly recommend her practice.

Dr. Kitto is amazing! She is so kind and really addresses your concerns. Her staff are friendly and responsive. I had a procedure performed with Dr Kitto under local anesthesia and she made sure I was comfortable the entire time. She is so so sweet and knowledgeable. 100% recommend!
