What is Facelift Surgery?

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at reducing visible signs of aging in the face and neck. The process involves tightening the underlying muscles, removing excess fat, and repositioning the skin to create a more youthful appearance. dredmundkwan uses the most advanced and safest methods to customize each treatment plan, ensuring natural-looking results that address specific patient concerns.

The Facelift Procedure

Facelift surgery typically takes three to four hours and is performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia  Plastic Surgery's on-site, fully-certified ambulatory surgical suite. In some cases, the surgery may be performed at a hospital, depending on patient needs.

On the day of surgery,dredmundkwan will mark the face to map out the unique facial animation of each patient. Strategic incisions are placed discreetly in the hairline and around the ears. The underlying tissues and muscles are carefully tightened, the skin is gently pulled taut, and excess skin is meticulously removed. dredmundkwan tailors the surgical technique to each patient, ensuring individualized attention and personalized results.

Facelift Recovery

Post-surgery, patients may experience bruising and swelling, which typically subside within a few weeks. Pain is rare and can be managed with medication. Most patients feel well enough to resume non-strenuous activities within ten days, but vigorous exercise should be avoided for at least two to three weeks to ensure optimal healing.

Scarring from facelift surgery is minimal and discreet, with incisions hidden along the hairline, in front of the ears, and under the earlobes. After recovery, patients will notice smoother, firmer skin and a contoured jawline that looks fresh, natural, and revitalized.
