Facelift in Auburn, CA | Freed Plastic Surgery: Dr. Jonathan R. Freed

Understanding Facelift Surgery

A facelift, medically known as a rhytidectomy, is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to improve visible signs of aging in the face and neck. This comprehensive treatment addresses loose skin, underlying facial muscles, and tissue, creating a more youthful and natural appearance.

Common Causes of Facial Aging

• Sun damage
• Genetic predisposition
• Smoking
• Loss of facial fat
• Skin thinning
• Environmental stress

Facelift Procedure Overview

Dr. Freed's facelift surgery focuses on smoothing wrinkles by removing excess skin, tightening underlying facial muscles, and strategically re-draping facial and neck skin. The primary goal is to restore and enhance the youthful contours that naturally diminish with age.

Ideal Facelift Candidates

Suitable candidates for facelift surgery typically demonstrate:

• Overall good health
• Presence of loose or sagging skin in mid and lower face
• Realistic aesthetic expectations
• Commitment to post-surgical skincare

Types of Facelift Procedures

Full Facelift with Neck Lift

A comprehensive procedure improving cheek contour, jowls, jawline, neck, and nasolabial folds. This intricate surgery takes approximately 3.5 hours and is performed under general anesthesia in an accredited facility.

Mini Facelift

A less invasive option addressing wrinkles and skin laxity in the lower face through small ear-area incisions. This procedure offers shorter recovery time and fewer side effects compared to full facelifts.

Recovery and Maintenance

Facelift recovery varies by patient but typically allows return to social activities within 2-4 weeks. Patients can expect significant reduction in swelling and bruising during this period.

Long-Term Facelift Maintenance

• Schedule regular professional skincare treatments
• Apply daily sun protection
• Maintain hydration
• Follow a medical-grade skincare routine
• Consider complementary non-surgical treatments
