Deep Plane Facelift Farmington, CT | Nicholas Karter, MD

What is a Facelift?

A facelift is a surgical procedure designed to address age-related facial changes by lifting underlying muscles and tissues to their youthful position. During the procedure, excess skin and fat are carefully removed, and the remaining skin is naturally redraped to restore facial definition.

Facelift Benefits

• Reduces deep facial creases
• Restores lower face and jawline definition
• Removes excess facial skin and fat
• Provides long-lasting facial rejuvenation

Ideal Candidates for Facelift Surgery

Ideal facelift candidates are healthy individuals experiencing moderate to severe facial sagging. Patients should have realistic expectations and be non-smokers or willing to quit before and after the procedure.

Surgical Approach

Connecticut Facial Plastic Surgery specializes in deep plane facelift techniques, which offer the most natural and long-lasting results. Surgical incisions are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring and optimize aesthetic outcomes.

Recovery and Results

Most patients can resume light activities within one week, with complete recovery taking approximately two to four weeks. Results typically last eight to ten years, depending on individual factors like skin quality and lifestyle.

Complementary Procedures

Facelifts can be combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures such as blepharoplasty, brow lifts, or non-surgical treatments to enhance overall results.
