Facelift

Good candidates for a facelift are individuals with noticeable signs of aging in the face and neck region, including wrinkles, sagging skin, and loss of facial volume. Candidates should be in good overall health, have realistic expectations about the procedure's outcomes, and be willing to follow postoperative care instructions for optimal results.

The results of a facelift can vary depending on factors such as individual anatomy, surgical technique, and postoperative care. Generally, patients can expect a smoother, firmer, and more youthful appearance, with improved facial contours and reduced wrinkles and sagging skin. While a facelift cannot stop aging, it can turn back the clock and provide long-lasting rejuvenation.

During a facelift procedure, the surgeon makes discreet incisions in the hairline and around the ears to minimize visible scarring. Excess skin is carefully removed, underlying tissues are tightened and repositioned, and facial contours are sculpted to achieve a youthful appearance. The incisions are then closed with sutures, and dressings or compression garments may be applied to support the healing process.

The cost of a facelift varies, depending on factors such as the procedure’s extent, the surgeon's experience, the geographic location of the practice, and additional fees such as anesthesia and facility charges. During your consultation, your surgeon will provide you with a detailed breakdown of the costs and discuss payment options.

Recovery from a facelift typically involves a period of swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which gradually subsides over several weeks. Patients are advised to rest and avoid strenuous activities during the initial stages of recovery. Most individuals can resume normal daily activities within two weeks, although strenuous exercise and exposure to sunlight should be limited for several weeks to ensure optimal healing.
