Advanced Facelift in Pittsburgh, PA | Dr. Dominic Brandy, MD

Understanding Facelift Surgery

Facelift surgery (rhytidectomy) is a sophisticated cosmetic procedure designed to dramatically improve visible signs of aging by lifting loose, sagging skin in the mid-to-lower facial region. The procedure tightens underlying facial muscles and smooths fine lines and wrinkles, restoring a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

Facelift Procedure Benefits

• Restores fullness and volume to the skin
• Reduces nasolabial folds and smile lines
• Enhances cheekbone definition
• Tightens sagging skin on face and jowls
• Minimizes appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

Surgical Technique

The facelift procedure involves a precise incision starting at the temple hairline, extending in front of the ear and around the earlobe into the scalp hairline. Our board-certified surgeons carefully reposition stretched muscles and tissue, gently advancing sagging skin and trimming excess skin to create natural-looking results.

Facelift Candidacy and Recovery

Facelift surgery can be performed between ages 35 and 75. While the procedure does not halt aging, early intervention may prevent developing significant signs of aging. Patients typically experience swelling and bruising for two to three weeks, with final results becoming visible approximately three months post-surgery.

Alternative Options

For patients seeking less invasive alternatives, The Skin Center offers the QuickLift® Facelift, a minimally invasive procedure that provides natural-looking results with reduced recovery time.
