Advanced Facelift in Fort Lauderdale, FL | Tracey H. Stokes, MD, FACS

Understanding Facial Aging and Rejuvenation

As individuals age, skin loses firmness and elasticity, resulting in visible signs of aging such as drooping skin, deep creases, and reduced facial definition. A professional facelift can effectively address these concerns, restoring a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Comprehensive Facelift Procedure

The facelift procedure is designed to comprehensively address multiple aging indicators, including:

• Deep creases around the nose and mouth
• Sagging muscles in the lower face
• Excess fat deposits in the neck area
• Loss of jawline definition

Surgical Technique

Dr. Tracey H. Stokes performs facelifts in state-of-the-art surgical suites under general or local anesthesia. The procedure involves precise surgical techniques to achieve optimal results:

• Incision placement starting at the temple, continuing around the ear to the lower scalp
• Careful separation of skin from underlying muscles and fat
• Removal of excess skin and fat
• Strategic muscle tightening for lasting effects

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can anticipate a recovery period characterized by temporary bruising, swelling, and skin tightness. Most individuals can return to work within one month, with full healing typically occurring over several weeks.

Potential Surgical Risks

Like all surgical procedures, facelifts carry potential risks including bleeding, infection, scarring, and nerve injury. Dr. Stokes provides comprehensive consultations to discuss individual patient considerations and potential limitations.
