As we age, the muscles and tissues in our face tend to droop, sag,
and develop wrinkles. This is most pronounced in the neck and jowls
area. A facelift can address these issues. This
procedure involves the tightening of facial and neck skin and muscles
and the removal of excess skin. The scar is hidden within the natrual
creases of the hairline and/or ear area.
If you woule like to turn back the hands of aging, but are seeking
a less-invasive way, we offer the Natural
Lift™ as well.
General Recovery Information: Pain connected with
facelift surgery is minimal to moderate and is controlled with oral
medication. Swelling and discoloration usually subside in 1-2 weeks.
Swelling can be reduced by keeping the head in a slightly elevated
position when sleeping. Tightness or numbness may occur temporarily.
Patients are advised to avoid the sun as much as possible and to
wear sunscreen when going out of doors. Healing is gradual and final
results take months, however, most patients feel they look good
within a few weeks. The amount of recovery time varies, depending
on the initial condition of the patient and the extent of surgery.
