Benefits Of Facelift Surgery

When skincare and injectables or fillers fall short in achieving your desired aesthetic goals, facelift surgery can effectively:

  • Address multiple signs of aging in one procedure.
  • Remove loose skin and excess fat.
  • Tighten sagging skin.
  • Diminish the appearance of smile lines and other deep creases.
  • Eliminate jowls and define the jawline.
  • Boost confidence and self-esteem.

Mini Facelift Vs. Full Facelift

A Full Facelift, often called a traditional facelift, is suitable for patients with deep creases or lines and moderate to severe loss of skin elasticity. On the other hand, a mini facelift, sometimes known as a “lunchtime lift,” is a less invasive cosmetic surgery option ideal for patients just beginning to notice early signs of aging.

The mini facelift can be performed with light sedation and local anesthesia, utilizing small incisions to tighten and lift the jawline and lower face tissues. While a mini facelift offers benefits such as quicker recovery, shorter incisions, and a lower cost, it may not be comprehensive enough for patients seeking complete facial rejuvenation.

What To Expect From Your Facelift Surgery?

Preparing for Your Facelift: The facelift process commences with a consultation. During this appointment, your surgeon will listen to your concerns, review your medical history, examine your face, and discuss your options. This is also your opportunity to ask any questions regarding facelift surgery or other cosmetic procedures. If a facelift is determined to be the right choice for you, your surgeon will guide you through pre-surgical preparations, which may include discontinuing certain skincare products.

How Is Facelift Surgery Performed?

Facelift surgery is typically an outpatient procedure conducted under general anesthesia. Your surgeon will strategically place incisions along natural contours to minimize scarring, beginning with an incision in your hairline. Excess skin and fat will be removed before repositioning the underlying tissue. Various facelift techniques or complementary procedures like liposuction or facial fat transfer may be employed depending on your specific needs and goals. Great care is taken to ensure natural-looking results.

Recovery After Facelift Surgery

Recovery duration can vary based on your surgical plan. It is crucial to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions diligently to prevent potential complications and attain the best facelift results possible. Your surgeon will provide guidance on suture care and activity restrictions. Typically, recovery takes around two to three weeks, with many patients resuming regular activities after two weeks. Keep in mind that recovery time varies from person to person, depending on factors such as medical condition and age.

Facelift Results

Following facelift recovery, you will appear relaxed, refreshed, and rejuvenated, often feeling a decade younger. Facelift surgery boasts a high patient satisfaction rate, with over 98% of patients reporting results that surpass their expectations. While the natural aging process continues, maintaining your results for years to come is possible with sun protection, a solid skincare routine, and potential laser treatments to enhance facial skin tone and texture.
