Advanced Facelift Techniques in Houston, TX | Mark Schusterman, MD, FACS

Understanding Facelift Surgery

A facelift (rhytidectomy) is a surgical procedure designed to tighten wrinkles and lift sagging skin on the lower half of the face. Houston plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Schusterman specializes in creating personalized treatment plans that enhance natural beauty and restore youthful facial contours.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Facelift?

Ideal facelift candidates typically experience:

• Sagging jowls
• Deep facial folds
• Sunken facial features
• Overall good health
• Realistic aesthetic expectations

Facelift Procedure Details

Dr. Schusterman performs facelift surgery as an outpatient procedure using local or general anesthesia. The technique involves strategically placed incisions, skin and muscle repositioning, and precise tissue manipulation to achieve natural-looking results.

Recovery and Results

Facelift recovery typically spans 7-14 days, with gradual reduction of swelling and bruising. Patients can expect refined results lasting 10-15 years, with carefully hidden incisions that blend seamlessly with natural hairlines and facial contours.

Deep Plane Facelift Technique

Dr. Schusterman utilizes an advanced deep plane facelift technique, which involves elevating underlying facial tissues and releasing ligaments. This approach provides maximum lifting power, durability, and the most natural tissue repositioning.

Customized Facial Rejuvenation

Each facelift is uniquely tailored to the patient's facial structure, addressing specific aging concerns and aesthetic goals. Dr. Schusterman carefully evaluates facial texture, skin elasticity, and individual characteristics to create personalized treatment plans.

Complementary Procedures

Facelift surgery can be combined with additional treatments like fat grafting, eyelid surgery, or laser resurfacing to enhance overall facial rejuvenation. Dr. Schusterman will discuss comprehensive options during your consultation.
