Rhytidectomy Facelift Draper, UT | Jed R Bindrup MD

Understanding Facelift Surgery

Facelift, medically known as rhytidectomy, is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to improve and reverse visible signs of facial aging. The procedure specifically targets critical areas of facial aging, including:

• Sagging in the midface region
• Creases below the lower eyelids
• Displaced facial fat
• Loss of muscle tone creating jowls

Surgical Approach and Technique

The facelift procedure removes excess fat and tightens facial muscles, resulting in a more rested and youthful appearance. It can be performed in conjunction with complementary procedures such as eyelid and laser surgery. The surgery is conducted on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia in an accredited surgical facility.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect visible effects to emerge as swelling and bruising subside. The complete healing process may take several months, with incision lines gradually maturing. Temporary facial numbness is common but typically resolves within a few weeks.

Post-Procedure Care

Sun protection is crucial in maintaining the rejuvenated appearance. Patients can typically return to work within two to three weeks following the procedure.

Procedure Recommendations

Dr. Bindrup provides personalized consultations to discuss facelift options, ensuring patients understand the procedure, potential outcomes, and individual considerations.
