Understanding Facelift Surgery in Delaware

Facelift surgery is a sophisticated cosmetic procedure designed to restore a more youthful and refreshed facial appearance. By lifting and firming sagging facial tissues, this transformative surgery helps patients look like a younger version of themselves.

How Facial Aging Occurs

As individuals age, skin and soft tissue naturally lose elasticity, causing the neck and lower jaw to sag and droop. This process varies depending on genetic factors, sun exposure, and individual skincare habits.

Facelift Procedure Types

Standard Facelift

• Addresses moderate to advanced facial aging
• More extensive surgical approach
• Incisions hidden behind hairline and around ears
• Repositions deeper facial tissues
• Removes excess skin to smooth creases

Mini Facelift

• Less invasive technique
• Ideal for mild jowling and skin sagging
• Shorter incisions along hairline
• Tightens cheek structures
• Refines jawline contours

Facelift Recovery Expectations

Recovery is typically quick for most patients. Initial swelling, numbness, and bruising peak around two days post-surgery and generally resolve within three to six weeks. Most patients return to normal activities within two weeks.

Candidate Considerations

Ideal facelift candidates have realistic expectations, are in good medical health, and exhibit: • Deep facial creases • Loose skin under the chin • Desire to address visible signs of aging

Longevity of Facelift Results

While facelift results are not permanent, patients can expect continued improvement compared to their pre-surgical appearance. Many patients consider additional procedures 5-10 years after their initial surgery.
