Facelift Surgery in Wheat Ridge, CO

Understanding Facial Aging and Facelift Solutions

As individuals age, skin naturally loses collagen and elastin, leading to sagging and visible signs of aging. Facelift surgery offers a comprehensive solution to restore a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance by addressing multiple facial aging concerns.

What Is a Facelift?

A facelift is an advanced cosmetic surgical procedure designed to lift and tighten facial skin, targeting the mid and lower face regions. This procedure helps improve visible signs of aging for men and women experiencing:

• Sunken, hollow cheeks
• Sagging skin along the jawline
• Loose skin in the upper neck area

Facelift Procedure Details

Pav & Mouchantat Plastic Surgeons perform facelift surgery under general anesthesia. The procedure involves making an S-shaped incision around the ears and into the hairline, allowing precise access to underlying facial structures.

Surgical Technique

The surgical approach includes tightening the underlying mid-face tissue (SMAS), re-draping facial skin, and removing minimal excess skin. This comprehensive technique ensures natural-looking facial rejuvenation.

Complementary Procedures

Patients may consider additional procedures to enhance overall facial rejuvenation, such as:

• Neck lift for extensive skin sagging
• Brow lift for forehead skin tightening

Pre-Operative Preparation

Patients are advised to:

• Avoid aspirin and ibuprofen 14 days prior to surgery
• Fill prescriptions before the surgical date
• Arrange transportation and post-operative care

Post-Operative Care

Recovery involves specific instructions to ensure optimal healing, including:

• Elevated head positioning
• Limited physical activity
• Proper wound care
