Comprehensive Facial Aging Solutions
The facial aging process involves multiple factors, including sun exposure, environmental influences, and genetic predispositions. A facelift procedure (rhytidectomy) addresses these complex changes by removing excess tissue and strategically tightening facial muscles.
Ideal Candidates for Facial Rejuvenation
While patients between 40 and 60 are most common, Orange County Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery Center successfully performs facelifts for individuals in their 70s and 80s. Special medical considerations are carefully evaluated during personalized consultations.
Advanced Surgical Technique
The facelift procedure is an outpatient surgery performed under general anesthesia by a board-certified anesthesiologist. Surgeons strategically place incisions along natural facial contours to minimize visible scarring, ensuring precise tissue repositioning and muscle tightening.
Procedure Details
- Surgical Duration: Approximately three hours
- Anesthesia: General anesthesia
- Incision Placement: Along natural ear and hairline contours
- Recovery: Initial rest period in surgical center
Expected Outcomes
Patients can anticipate a refreshed, more youthful appearance that appears natural and subtle. The procedure effectively "resets" the aging process, providing long-lasting rejuvenation while maintaining individual facial characteristics.
Complementary Enhancements
Additional procedures may be recommended to optimize results, such as skin resurfacing, eyelid surgery, or forehead lifting. These complementary treatments can further enhance overall facial rejuvenation.
