Understanding Facelift Procedures in New York
As individuals age, gravitational changes impact the mid-face, jowls, and neck regions. While non-invasive treatments like Botox and fillers can provide temporary improvements, a facelift remains the gold standard for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Facelift Surgical Technique
A facelift procedure strategically re-positions facial soft tissues and muscles, carefully redraping the skin to restore a more youthful appearance. The surgery typically involves:
- Repositioning underlying facial muscles
- Removing excess skin
- Creating a smoother, more refined facial profile
Procedure Details
Fox & Schingo Plastic Surgery performs facelift surgeries under hospital anesthesia, with procedures lasting approximately 5 hours. Patients may choose to stay overnight or return home the same day.
Recovery and Expectations
Patients can anticipate mild, temporary surgical discomfort with expected bruising and swelling. Most individuals return to work within 10-14 days and resume normal exercise routines in 2-4 weeks.
Potential Surgical Considerations
- Careful scar placement
- Temporary skin numbness
- Potential beard repositioning for male patients
Surgical Risks and Consultation
While complications are uncommon, potential risks include infection, bleeding, or minor asymmetries. A comprehensive consultation will thoroughly discuss individual risks and expected outcomes.
