Erase Years From Your Face With A Facelift Procedure 

Aging is inevitable—and our face truly tells the tales of our lives. Each day in the sun, every trip, every smile and every worry has left its mark, while time and gravity have taken their toll. By the time we reach middle age, our faces may have been affected by the following factors: 

 

  • Sun and weather damage 
  • Loss of facial fat 
  • Thinning skin 
  • Smoking and second-hand smoke 
  • Stress and anxiety 
  • Genetics 

 

While we can’t reverse aging or turn back time, we can improve and rejuvenate the face through facelift surgery and other procedures—all of which can make you look less tired, more youthful, and brighter as you move through your life. 

Could A Facelift be Right For You? 

A facelift is a surgical procedure that reduces signs of aging in the lower half of the face as well as the neck. Specifically, a facelift: 

 

  • Lifts and tightens skin 
  • Reduces wrinkles 
  • Lifts sagging cheeks 
  • Reduces jowls 
  • Reduces sagging neck
  • Reduces  nasolabial folds—know as “laugh lines” or “smile lines” 
  • Smooths skin 
  • Improves jawline 

 

The facelift procedure involves making small incisions in the skin around the face and near the hairline. These incisions, which will not be noticeable after the surgery, are used to tighten the skin and redistribute underlying fat and muscle. In some cases, excess skin may be removed. 

 

A few more facts about facelifts: 

 

  • Facelift recovery time is about two weeks. 
  • You will not see the full results of your facelift until swelling goes down. 
  • Facelift results can last for years, especially if patients care for their skin. 
  • Facelifts can be paired with other cosmetic surgeries for more results. 
  • Some patients elect to have future facelifts as they continue to age. 
  • Facelifts take place under general anesthesia. 

Pairing Your Facelift With Other Procedures

Because facelifts focus on the lower half of the face, many patients elect to pair their facelift procedure with other procedures, either at the same time as the facelift or before or after the surgery. These procedures include: 

 

  • Brow lift 
  • Eye lift 
  • Neck lift 
  • Rhinoplasty 
  • Chin implant
  • Cheek implants 
  • Injectables 
  • Skin resurfacing or peels 

 

Pairing procedures also limits your use of general anesthesia and reduces recovery time. Talk with your doctor about what your problem areas and ideal results are to ascertain which procedures might be right for you and your needs.
