Facelift Marlton, NJ | Samir Undavia, M.D.

Facelift Overview

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, addresses the common concern of patients who feel younger than their appearance suggests. As aging progresses, facial ligaments loosen and skin changes, creating a tired or aged look. Dr. Undavia's facelift technique strategically removes excessive skin and re-suspends facial muscles and soft tissues to create a refreshed, natural appearance.

Key Benefits of Facelift Surgery

• Restores a more youthful facial contour
• Sets back appearance by 7-10 years
• Produces natural, non-stretched results
• Customized approach using computer imaging

Indications for Facelift Procedure

Most candidates experience common aging signs like sagging cheeks, pronounced jowls, and significant wrinkles. Typical patients range from 30 to 80 years old, with most procedures performed on individuals in their 60s and 70s.

Surgical Approach

Dr. Undavia performs facelifts under general anesthesia, meticulously dissecting facial layers and suspending structures in multiple directions. The procedure involves removing excess fat and skin while preserving the hairline and ensuring minimal surgical evidence.

Facelift Recovery and Expectations

Recovery typically requires 10-14 days of downtime. Patients can expect mild swelling and bruising, which begin to recede after one week. Full facelift results are achieved around 90 days post-surgery, with significant improvements visible by 30 days.

Alternative Options

• Mini-facelift for minimal aging signs
• Lower facelift targeting jowls and neck
• Non-surgical alternatives like injectables and fillers

Candidacy and Considerations

Ideal facelift candidates are in good health with realistic expectations. Patients with uncontrolled medical conditions, compromised immune systems, or active smoking may not be suitable candidates for the procedure.
