Understanding Facelift Surgery in Tallahassee

A facelift (rhytidectomy) at Southeastern Plastic Surgery helps women and men restore a more youthful appearance by rejuvenating the lower face, including the cheeks and jawline. Patients from Tallahassee, Destin, Lake City, Dothan, and Valdosta seek this transformative procedure.

What Facelift Surgery Addresses

Facelift surgery effectively treats multiple signs of facial aging:

• Sagging in the midface region
• Loss of muscle tone resulting in jowls
• Loose skin and fatty deposits under the chin
• Deep creases around the nose and mouth

Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation

Dr. Chris DeRosier often combines facelift surgery with complementary procedures to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation:

• Brow lift
• Eyelid surgery
• Neck lift
• Facial fat grafting
• Facial implants

Surgical Procedure Details

The facelift procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 4-6 hours. Surgeons make strategic incisions in natural facial creases, elevate the skin, tighten underlying muscles, and remove excess tissue for a smooth, natural result.

Recovery and Results

Facelift recovery varies by individual, but most patients can expect the following timeline:

• Day of surgery: Return home
• 7-14 days: Sutures removed, return to non-strenuous activities
• 2-3 weeks: Ready for public appearances
• 2-3 months: Final results achieved

Candidate Considerations

Ideal facelift candidates are healthy, non-smoking individuals without medical conditions that might impair healing. The procedure can help patients look 10-12 years younger on average.
