Understanding Facelift Surgery in Pasadena

Wrinkles, creases, and sagging skin can make individuals appear older and impact self-confidence. A facelift offers a comprehensive solution to address visible signs of aging, helping patients look and feel more like themselves. Dr. Michael Schwartz, a board-certified facial plastic and cosmetic surgeon with fellowship training, specializes in creating subtle, natural-looking facelift results.

What is a Facelift (Rhytidectomy)?

A facelift is a sophisticated plastic surgery procedure designed to improve visible signs of aging in the face and neck. This comprehensive treatment addresses multiple concerns by repositioning underlying facial tissues and tightening muscles to create a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

Key Benefits of Facelift Surgery

• Eliminates sagging skin
• Reduces deep facial creases
• Smooths wrinkles and fine lines
• Refines jawline and reduces jowls
• Restores a more alert and pleasant facial expression

Facelift Procedure Details

Dr. Schwartz typically performs facelifts under general anesthesia in a surgical setting. The procedure involves creating a precise incision along the hairline, allowing for strategic repositioning of facial tissues and muscle tightening. This approach ensures a natural-looking facial contour without distorting individual features.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect some initial swelling and bruising following the procedure. Pasadena Plastic Surgery provides comprehensive post-operative care, including pain management and detailed recovery instructions. Patients are advised to rest and keep their head elevated during the initial healing phase.

Complete healing may take several months, with results gradually becoming more apparent. When performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Schwartz, facelift results can last up to 10 years with proper lifestyle maintenance.

Complementary Procedures

Facelifts are often combined with complementary procedures such as eyelid surgery or neck lifts to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Fat transfer techniques may also be used to address volume loss in areas like the cheeks.
