Rejuvenating Your Natural Beauty
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgery aimed at tightening loose or sagging skin in the face and neck, reducing jowling, and rejuvenating the facial contours. This procedure addresses multiple layers of the face, including the skin, muscle, and fat, to restore a more youthful and refreshed appearance. At Advanced Facial and Nasal Surgical Center, we use advanced deep plane facelift techniques to achieve natural-looking, long-lasting results.
The process begins with an in-depth consultation to understand your goals and evaluate your facial structure. Our surgeons discuss the various facelift options and develop a personalized plan tailored to your needs and expectations.
Preparation for your facelift includes detailed instructions on pre-surgery care, dietary guidelines, and any necessary medications. Our team ensures you are fully prepared for a successful and safe surgical experience.
Facelift surgery generally lasts several hours and can be performed under general anesthesia or a combination of local anesthesia and sedation. Incisions are strategically placed above the temples in the hairline, around the ears, and sometimes under the chin. The skin and subcutaneous tissue are separated from the underlying structures, and the deeper layers are lifted and repositioned. Excess skin is removed, and the incisions are closed with sutures, resulting in a naturally youthful appearance.
After surgery, your head will be wrapped in a specific dressing or bandage for the first few days. Swelling and bruising are common and typically resolve within one to two weeks. Sutures are usually removed at a follow-up appointment after one week. Patients can typically return to work and everyday activities within ten to fourteen days, with strenuous activities being resumed after at least two weeks. Minimizing sun exposure is important during the initial recovery period.

Recovery from a facelift involves a period of rest and limited activity to allow the body to heal. Swelling and bruising are common but will gradually subside over the first few weeks. Most patients can return to normal activities within 2 to 3 weeks, although complete healing and final results may take up to several months. It’s crucial to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions, which may include caring for incisions, avoiding strenuous activities, and attending follow-up appointments. The initial discomfort can be managed with prescribed medications, and many patients find the recovery process manageable with these guidelines.
Ideal candidates for a facelift are individuals who wish to address signs of aging in the lower face and neck, such as sagging skin, deep folds, and loss of muscle tone. Typically, candidates are in their 40s to 70s, with skin that still retains some elasticity. Good candidates are in overall good health, do not smoke, and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of surgery. A facelift can rejuvenate the appearance by restoring a more youthful contour to the face and neck, but it’s important to consult with a qualified surgeon to determine if this procedure aligns with your aesthetic goals and medical history.
