Advanced Facelift in Bryn Mawr, OR | Lohner Plastic Surgery

Understanding Facelift Surgery

A facelift, medically known as rhytidectomy, is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to restore a patient's youthful appearance by addressing signs of aging. The technique involves removing or reducing wrinkles, loose skin, and fat deposits to create a more rejuvenated facial profile.

What Can a Facelift Achieve?

• Reduce visible signs of facial aging
• Tighten skin around neck and cheek areas
• Improve overall facial contours
• Enhance self-confidence and appearance

Ideal Candidates for Facelift Surgery

Patients experiencing facial aging with some remaining skin elasticity are excellent candidates for facelift surgery. Typically, individuals between 40-60 years old benefit most from this procedure. Ideal candidates are non-smokers in good health with realistic aesthetic expectations.

Surgical Procedure Details

During a conventional facelift, Dr. Lohner makes strategic incisions around the hairline and ears. The underlying facial tissues are carefully repositioned, excess skin is removed, and incisions are meticulously closed to minimize scarring.

Recovery and Expectations

Facelift recovery typically spans two to four weeks. Patients can expect initial bruising and swelling, with final results becoming fully visible within six to nine months. Dr. Lohner provides comprehensive post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing.

Potential Risks and Considerations

• Temporary nerve damage
• Potential infection
• Anesthesia-related complications
• Temporary skin numbness

Cost Considerations

Facelift costs vary based on individual surgical requirements. As a cosmetic procedure, most health insurance plans do not cover the expense. During the initial consultation, Dr. Lohner provides a comprehensive cost breakdown.
