Advanced Facelift in Pasadena, CA | Daniel J. Casper, M.D.

Understanding Facelift Surgery

Prominent wrinkles, deep folds, and other signs of aging in the face can be significantly reduced with a facelift. Dr. Daniel Casper can tighten underlying fascia and smooth facial skin for a more youthful, refreshed appearance. Modern facelift techniques provide natural and beautiful results.

Facelift Procedure Details

Medically known as a rhytidectomy, facelift surgery addresses prominent signs of facial aging. Patients showing moderate to advanced aging may benefit from this comprehensive procedure. Dr. Casper, one of the most experienced facelift surgeons in Los Angeles, offers personalized surgical approaches.

Surgical Technique

The traditional facelift procedure begins with strategic incisions above the hairline at the temples, extending inside the ear's edge and around the earlobe. Dr. Casper meticulously lifts skin from underlying facial muscles, tightens the SMAS fascia, and removes excess skin for a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Procedure Specifics

• Duration: Three to four hours
• Anesthesia: IV sedation or general anesthesia
• Procedure Type: Outpatient

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect some initial bruising and swelling after facelift surgery. Pain and discomfort can be managed with medication. Recovery involves keeping the head elevated and maintaining bandages to facilitate healing.

Post-Procedure Guidelines

• Avoid strenuous activities for two weeks
• Resume normal daily activities after approximately ten days
• Scarring is typically minimal and hidden behind hairline or ear creases

Facelift Candidacy

Not all patients require a full facelift. Individuals showing less prominent aging signs might benefit from less invasive options like cosmetic injectable treatments. Dr. Casper provides comprehensive consultations to determine the most appropriate facial rejuvenation approach.
