You may be a candidate for this procedure if you have experienced a loss of skin elasticity and muscle tone of the face and neck. A facelift may also be desirable if you have the appearance of jowls and deep creases between the base of the nostrils and corners of the mouth. A facelift may also be helpful if you believe you lack youthful chin and neck contours and feel you have a tired appearance. The results from a facelift are long-lasting, and can “set the clock back” approximately ten years and restore a more refreshed, brighter, and less tired appearance.
A facelift is intended to give a more rested and youthful contour to the face and neck. The types of facelifts range in size from "mini" to "standard" depending on location and extent of skin laxity. Depending on the type of facelift best suited for you, incisions may be placed along the hairline, by the ear, below the chin, or in the crease in front of the ear and earlobe. Dr. Paul Zwiebel will then lift the skin and trim and remove the excess. The support for the skin will then be tightened and lifted.
Facelifts are done on an outpatient basis under IV sedation. The patient goes home with the head and neck wrapped in dressings, which are usually removed the next day. Initial discomfort is minimal and easily controlled with oral medication. Sutures are removed within 7 to 14 days and bruising and swelling decreases to "socially acceptable" levels in 10 to 20 days. The final results are evident in four to six weeks or sooner, with continued improvement for several months.
It is important to understand that a facelift is a surgical procedure; and as with all surgical procedures, a facelift carries with it some risk. We encourage all patients to learn as much about the facelift and recovery before undergoing a procedure.
We look forward to helping you learn more during a personalized consultation. Common procedures performed with this treatment include: Eyelid Procedures, Nasal Treatments, Fat Transfers, and Cheek Augmentation.
