Advanced Facelift (Rhytidectomy) in Princeton, NJ

Why Choose a Facelift in Princeton?

Facial cosmetic surgery has become increasingly popular for those seeking to rejuvenate their appearance. The contemporary facelift allows patients to look up to ten years younger while maintaining a natural, refreshed aesthetic.

Benefits of a Facelift Procedure

A facelift addresses multiple signs of aging by targeting specific facial concerns:

• Loose, sagging skin along the jawline and cheeks
• Deep facial folds between the nose and mouth
• Jowls along the lower cheek and jawline
• Loose neck skin and excess fat

The Princeton Center for Plastic Surgery Approach

Dr. Thomas Leach performs a contemporary SMAS lift technique that repositions facial structures beneath the skin. This approach allows for smooth skin re-draping and careful removal of excess tissue, resulting in a natural, rejuvenated appearance.

Facelift Procedure Details

The facelift procedure is performed in an accredited outpatient surgical center under general anesthesia. Small, strategically placed incisions around the ear and scalp ensure minimal visible scarring. The underlying facial structures are lifted and repositioned to restore a more youthful contour.

Ideal Candidates for Facelift Surgery

The best candidates for a facelift are individuals who:

• Are in good overall health
• Do not smoke
• Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
• Experience significant facial and neck skin redundancy

Complementary Procedures

Dr. Leach recommends combining a facelift with complementary procedures such as:

• Brow lift
• Eyelid lift
• Non-surgical treatments like BOTOX® and dermal fillers

Recovery and Results

Most patients can return to work within two weeks of their facelift procedure. Swelling and bruising are typical during the initial recovery period, with most side effects resolving within a week.
