Understanding Facelift Surgery: Restore Youthful Appearance

A facelift, medically known as rhytidectomy, is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to reduce visible signs of aging in the face and neck. The technique involves carefully removing, reshaping, and repositioning aging skin to create a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

Procedure Overview

• Individualized surgical approach during consultation
• Incisions strategically placed around ears and scalp
• Typically performed under general anesthesia
• Often combined with additional rejuvenation procedures

Pre-Operative Preparation for Facelift Surgery

Proper preparation is crucial for optimal surgical outcomes. Patients will undergo comprehensive medical evaluation to ensure they are ideal candidates for the procedure.

Key Pre-Surgery Considerations

• Provide complete medical history
• Discontinue anti-inflammatory medications 1 week prior
• Optimize blood pressure medication
• Cease all nicotine and tobacco use 4 weeks before and after surgery

Recovery and Post-Operative Care

Recovery is a critical phase of facelift surgery. Most patients experience significant healing within 10-14 days, with complete recovery spanning 6-8 weeks.

Recovery Expectations
