Understanding Facelift Surgery: A Comprehensive Overview
A facelift, medically known as rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to improve facial appearance by addressing age-related changes. As individuals age, skin loses elasticity, leading to sagging, facial lines, and wrinkles.
Key Factors Contributing to Facial Aging
- Natural skin relaxation and volume loss
- Prolonged UV ray exposure
- Environmental pollutants
- Cumulative stress effects
Facelift Procedure: Techniques and Approach
Dr. Contogiannis performs facelifts under general anesthesia in an accredited outpatient center. The procedure involves removing excess skin and tightening underlying facial muscles to create smoother, more youthful contours.
Mini-Facelift: A Less Invasive Alternative
A mini-facelift offers a less extensive surgical approach, focusing primarily on the mid-face region. This technique utilizes shorter incisions and typically does not involve additional procedures like neck or brow lifts.
Benefits of Facelift Surgery
- Enhanced facial contours and smoother skin
- Significant confidence and self-image boost
- Long-lasting aesthetic improvements
- Reduction of sagging skin and jowls
Candidacy for Facelift Surgery
Ideal candidates are healthy adults with realistic expectations. During the initial consultation, Dr. Contogiannis will assess individual goals and determine the most appropriate surgical approach.
Recovery and Post-Procedure Expectations
Post-surgical recovery involves keeping the head elevated and managing temporary swelling and numbness. Patients receive detailed post-procedure instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.
Financial Considerations
Facelifts are typically not covered by insurance. Renaissance Center for Plastic Surgery & Wellness offers financing options through Alphaeon® and CareCredit® to make the procedure more accessible.
