FACELIFT CHEVY CHASE, MD | DR. DAVID S. KUNG, MD

UNDERSTANDING FACELIFT PROCEDURES IN CHEVY CHASE

A facelift (rhytidectomy) is a sophisticated surgical procedure
designed to restore youthful contours and firmness to aging facial
skin. As individuals age, factors like sun exposure, stress, and
gravity contribute to skin laxity and visible signs of aging,
particularly around the jawline and neck.

INDICATIONS FOR FACELIFT SURGERY

 	* Sagging skin in facial and neck regions
	* Excess skin and fat deposits
	* Diminished jawline definition
	* Pronounced crease lines around nose, mouth, and chin

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

Dr. Kung employs meticulous surgical techniques involving precise
incisions along the hairline and around the ears. The procedure
involves separating tissue, repositioning underlying structures,
removing excess skin, and creating a smoother, more youthful facial
contour.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

Facelift surgery typically requires several hours and may be combined
with complementary facial procedures. The specific technique is
personalized during an initial consultation to address individual
aesthetic goals and anatomical considerations.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Post-surgical recovery involves initial bandaging to minimize swelling
and promote healing. Patients can expect restricted movement and
careful adherence to post-operative instructions. Most sutures are
removed within one week, with gradual return to normal activities.

POTENTIAL COMPLEMENTARY TREATMENTS

Dr. Kung offers non-surgical alternatives like anti-wrinkle
injectables and tissue fillers that can complement or serve as
alternatives to traditional facelift procedures.

signs in the neck and jawline. This comprehensive treatment addresses
multiple aesthetic concerns:

DEEP PLANE FACELIFT CHEVY CHASE, MD | CHRISTOPHER C. CHANG MD |
WASHINGTON DC BOARD CERTIFIED PLASTIC SURGEON

UNDERSTANDING DEEP PLANE FACELIFT: ADVANCED FACIAL REJUVENATION

Aging can cause facial skin to become loose, saggy, and develop fine
lines. A deep plane facelift offers a sophisticated solution for
individuals seeking comprehensive facial rejuvenation in the
Washington DC metropolitan area.

WHAT IS A DEEP PLANE FACELIFT?

A deep plane facelift is an advanced surgical procedure that addresses
facial aging by targeting deeper tissue layers. Unlike traditional
facelifts that merely tighten surface skin, this technique provides
more natural and long-lasting results by repositioning underlying
facial structures.

DEEP PLANE FACELIFT VS. TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUES

The deep plane facelift differs from standard procedures by separating
and lifting the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer
without tension, preventing the overly tight or "pulled" appearance
associated with traditional facelifts.

KEY BENEFITS OF DEEP PLANE FACELIFT

 	* Natural-looking facial rejuvenation
	* Enhanced definition of jawline and neck contours
	* Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
	* Improved facial symmetry
	* Long-lasting results (10-15 years)

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR DEEP PLANE FACELIFT

Patients considering a deep plane facelift in Chevy Chase, MD should:

 	* Be in good overall health
	* Have realistic aesthetic expectations
	* Experience moderate to significant facial aging
	* Desire natural-looking facial rejuvenation

SURGICAL PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

Dr. Christopher Chang performs deep plane facelifts as an outpatient
procedure using local anesthesia and sedation. The surgery typically
takes approximately two hours and involves precise incisions near the
ears and hairline to reposition facial tissues.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Most patients can return to normal activities within two weeks, with
complete results becoming visible around six months post-surgery. The
transformation offers a refreshed, youthful appearance that can last a
decade or more.
