Facelift in Beachwood, OH | Beachwood Plastic Surgery & Medical Spa

Understanding Facelift Procedures

A facelift is a transformative surgical procedure designed to address visible signs of aging in the face and neck. By strategically repositioning underlying facial tissues, removing excess skin, and tightening facial muscles, this procedure can help patients achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

Common Facelift Techniques

• Traditional Full Facelift
• Mini Facelift
• Deep Plane Facelift
• SMAS Facelift

Patient Candidacy for Facelift Surgery

Ideal facelift candidates typically demonstrate specific aging characteristics, including moderate to significant skin laxity, deep facial wrinkles, and loss of facial volume. Patients should be in good overall health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes.

Age and Skin Considerations

While age is not the sole determining factor, most facelift patients range from 40 to 70 years old. Individual skin condition, genetic factors, and lifestyle significantly influence surgical recommendations.

Surgical Process and Recovery

Facelift procedures are performed under general anesthesia and typically require several hours. Recovery involves careful post-operative management, including pain management, wound care, and gradual return to normal activities.

Recovery Timeline

• Initial healing: 1-2 weeks
• Return to light activities: 2-3 weeks
• Full recovery: 3-6 months

Complementary Procedures

Beachwood Plastic Surgery & Medical Spa often recommends combining facelift procedures with complementary treatments to enhance overall facial rejuvenation, such as neck lift, facial fat transfer, or laser resurfacing.
