Advanced Facelift in El Paso | Humberto Palladino, MD

Understanding Facelift Surgery

A youthful, pleasant appearance can significantly impact personal confidence and social interactions. Signs of aging, sun exposure, stress, and lifestyle habits often compromise facial skin. A facelift addresses these imperfections, restoring a vibrant and refreshed look.

Facelift Goals

• Achieve a smoother complexion
• Create a younger, more revitalized appearance
• Define jawline and neck contour
• Tighten and rejuvenate facial skin

Facelift Techniques

Traditional Facelift

The traditional facelift offers comprehensive facial rejuvenation, ideal for patients with substantial skin laxity. Key characteristics include:

• Incision along the hairline at temples, behind ears, and scalp
• Discreet scar placement within natural facial contours
• Repositioning of underlying tissues and fat
• Lifting of facial muscles
• Removal of excess skin

Limited-Incision Facelift

Designed for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity, this technique offers a shorter recovery period while maintaining natural results.

• Shorter incision compared to traditional method
• Follows hairline and runs behind ears
• Repositions tissue and removes excess skin
• Faster healing and less invasive

Candidacy for Facelift Surgery

Ideal candidates for facelift surgery typically experience:

• Displaced facial fat
• Creases beneath lower eyelids
• Pronounced nasolabial folds
• Loss of muscle tone in lower face
• Loose skin under the chin

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect temporary swelling and bruising that typically subsides within one to two weeks. Most individuals resume normal activities within two weeks and can see refined results after six weeks.

Complementary Procedures

Facelift surgery can be combined with complementary procedures like brow lift, forehead lift, or eyelid surgery for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
