Who is a Good Candidate for Facelift Surgery?

Patients typically choose a facelift to address:

• Lax, sagging skin
• Loss of skin elasticity and muscle tone
• Pronounced jowls and deep facial creases
• Diminished chin and neck contours

Facelift Surgical Techniques

Facelifts are performed on an outpatient basis under sedation with local anesthesia. Incisions are strategically placed in the hairline and around the ears to minimize visible scarring. The procedure involves tightening neck muscles, re-draping facial skin, and removing excess skin to restore a more youthful appearance.

Mini Facelift: A Less Invasive Option

A mini facelift offers an effective solution for patients with mild to moderate facial sagging. This technique involves shorter incisions and reduced recovery time compared to a traditional facelift, making it ideal for patients seeking subtle rejuvenation.

Complementary Procedures

Patients often combine facelift surgery with additional treatments to enhance overall facial rejuvenation:

• Brow lift
• Eyelid surgery
• Neck lift
• Fat grafting
• Laser skin resurfacing

Recovery and Results

Recovery typically progresses as follows:

• First week: Rest and initial healing
• Second week: Suture removal and reduced swelling
• Weeks 3-4: Return to normal activities
• 3+ months: Final results visible
