Facelift Newport Beach, CA | M Hugh Bailey MD FACS PC Inc.

Understanding Facial Aging and Facelift Solutions

Sagging skin can be one of the most disheartening aging signs. This natural process begins in the 30s as collagen production declines, eventually creating visible skin laxity that makes individuals appear older than they feel. Dr. Bailey offers advanced facelift techniques to address these concerns effectively.

Facelift Surgery Candidacy

Facelift procedures are typically performed under general anesthesia and can be customized to individual patient needs. Potential candidates include:

• Individuals experiencing significant skin sagging
• Patients with loss of facial volume and definition
• Those seeking comprehensive facial rejuvenation

Advanced Surgical Techniques

Dr. Bailey utilizes sophisticated surgical approaches to deliver natural-looking results. For most patients, the SMAS technique is employed, which tightens skin, connective tissue, and underlying muscle. More extensive corrections may involve deep plane or sub-periosteal techniques that provide comprehensive tissue lifting.

Comprehensive Facelift Procedure Details

The facelift procedure can be combined with complementary treatments such as:

• Neck liposuction
• Facial fat grafting
• Eyelid surgery
• Earlobe reduction

Surgical Expectations and Recovery

Patients can expect the following post-surgical experience:

• Initial 24-48 hours: Bulky head and neck dressing
• 2-3 weeks: Facial and neck bruising
• 5-7 days: Significant swelling reduction
• Approximately 3 months: Gradual sensory nerve recovery

Long-Term Facelift Considerations

Dr. Bailey carefully approaches repeated facelift procedures, ensuring natural-looking results without an overly tight or "frozen" appearance. Potential retreatment can be considered 5-10 years after the initial surgery.
