Facelift in Beverly Hills, CA | David E Kim, MD, FACS

Understanding Facelift Procedure

A facelift, medically known as rhytidectomy, is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to improve visible signs of aging in the face and neck. This transformative treatment addresses multiple aesthetic concerns, including sagging midface, deep facial creases, jowls, and excess fatty deposits under the chin and jaw.

Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation

Dr. David E Kim offers a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation. While a facelift cannot stop the natural aging process, it can significantly restore a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Complementary procedures such as brow lifts or eyelid surgery may be recommended to enhance overall results.

Facelift Procedure Options

• Traditional Facelift: Comprehensive approach with incisions at temples and around ears
• Limited Incision Facelift: Shorter incisions for targeted rejuvenation
• Neck Lift: Focused correction of neck and jawline contours

Surgical Considerations and Techniques

During the consultation, Dr. Kim will evaluate your facial structure, discuss surgical goals, and recommend the most appropriate technique. The procedure typically involves repositioning underlying facial tissues, redistributing facial fat, and carefully removing excess skin to create natural-looking results.

Surgical Approach

The facelift procedure is performed under anesthesia and generally takes several hours. Incisions are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring, typically within the hairline and natural facial contours. Dr. Kim employs meticulous techniques to ensure optimal aesthetic outcomes.

Recovery and Expectations

Post-surgical recovery involves initial swelling and bruising, which gradually subsides. Patients can expect to see final results as healing progresses. Sun protection and a healthy lifestyle are crucial in maintaining the rejuvenated appearance achieved through the facelift procedure.

Potential Risks and Considerations

• Possible surgical risks including infection and scarring
• Temporary changes in skin sensation
• Potential need for additional corrective procedures

Patient Consultation and Preparation

A thorough pre-surgical consultation is essential. Patients should discuss medical history, current medications, and surgical expectations. Dr. Kim provides comprehensive guidance on preparing for surgery, including recommendations on lifestyle modifications and pre-operative care.
