The Process Of A Facelift Procedure

A facelift procedure aims to reduce aging signs by lifting facial tissue, removing excess skin, and tightening your face muscles. The operation can target areas below the forehead on the chin, cheeks, jawline, and neck. Because each patient is different, Dr. Kreitzberg will customize the procedure by assessing your unique facial structure and ideal cosmetic results.

The operation involves making incisions along the hairline to remove excess skin while repositioning the remaining tissue. It is also possible to redistribute fat across your face to restore volume with fat transfer. The final step is lifting and tightening your muscles to eliminate wrinkles and give your face and neck a youthful appearance.

Physical And Emotional Benefits Of Getting A Facelift

There are many physical and emotional benefits of choosing to undergo the facelift procedure. You could reduce aging signs and achieve firmer, smoother, and tighter skin that appears more youthful. Additionally, because the surgery repositions facial muscles, the contours of your facial features become enhanced. You also do not have to worry about scarring with this procedure, as the incisions heal well and are hidden near the hairline.

Beyond rejuvenating your skin and facial appearance, a facelift could dramatically improve your self-esteem and confidence. Research has shown that those with higher levels of confidence experience more successful professional and personal relationships.

Recovery Timeline After Surgery

After a facelift, you can expect swelling, redness, bruising, and discomfort to subside within two to four weeks. The results of the procedure become noticeable after two weeks of healing when the swelling and bruising have somewhat reduced. After those two weeks, you may also resume light-impact activities, such as walking and working.

High-impact activities, such as exercise, are safe to resume after four weeks of recovery. During this period, the results of a facelift procedure become more apparent and continue to be finalized in the following weeks. Vital components of the recovery process are maintaining an effective skincare routine, consistently using sunscreen, and following a healthy lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can fillers give me the same results as a facelift?

Fillers will not be able to give you the same results and longevity as a facelift. Fillers are temporary. A facelift is a more long-term fix, but will have more downtime and incisions. Fillers will (do just that) fill the space of lost collagen and facial fat that is lost with aging or significant weight loss, they do not remove any excess skin. A face lift will elevate and suspend that deep facial structures and fat and remove excess skin.

Do I have to redo my facelift?

Your genes, skin quality, and maintenance routine are important factors in the longevity of your facelift. However, the facelift technique is the number one factor in determining how long the results will last. Dr Kreitzberg will use a technique that will lift and tighten the SMAS and platysma to provide longer lasting results.

What are the advantages to fat transfer to the face?

One of the initial changes that occurs with aging is facial fat volume loss. A fat transfer can replace this lost volume in the cheeks, lips, chin, around the eyes, jawline, and temples resulting in a more youthful appearance. Fat transfer, unlike filler, is a permanent correction. You will also see an improvement in skin quality with a fat transfer. Fat transfer can be performed to specific areas of the face to individualize the procedure based on your need and desired appearance. For instance, adding volume to the cheeks will result in a lifted appearance to the mid face as well as the lower face. Also, fat transfer around the eyes can improve the appearance of the tear troughs as well as upper and lower eyelids. Finally, fat transfer to the lips can add fullness that is soft and lasts. Dr Kreitzberg will create an individualized plan for you during your consultation.

What does a facelift actually do?

A facelift (rhytidectomy surgery) is the most comprehensive approach to treating facial wrinkles and sagging caused by aging. Every year, thousands of people undergo successful facelift surgery and are pleased with the results. The combination of lifting and tightening will result in a correction of deep cheek folds, jowls, and loose skin, thus recontouring the face, neck, and jawline. You will achieve smoother, firmer, and fresher looking skin on your face and neck. Typically, you will look 10- 15 years younger. A facelift or neck lift will not address the central face (around the lips and chin). The central face can be addressed with peels, lasers, dermabrasion, or a lip lift.

When should you get a facelift?

Your face can change with time, gravity, weight loss, and sun exposure. If you feel like you don’t look like yourself anymore and want to look like a younger version of yourself, a facelift may be right for you. A facelift is a great option if you have any of these concerns: facial sagging, loss of muscle tone low on your face (jowls), deep creases from your nose to your mouth (nasolabial folds), lines from your mouth’s corners to your chin (marionette lines), and a double chin or unwanted neck creases or folds. As we all age, we lose volume in our face initially and then sagging/laxity of ligaments and changes in facial bone structure. We notice that the fullness that initially was in our cheeks when we were in our 20’s and 30’s seems to be lost and the lower face/jawline/neck feel full and sagging. A facelift will lift the cheeks, lower face (jowls), and neck as well as remove excess skin. The combination of lifting and tightening will result in a correction of deep cheek folds, jowls, and loose skin, thus recontouring the face, neck, and jawline. You will achieve smoother, firmer, and fresher looking skin on your face and neck. Typically, you will look 10- 15 years younger. If more volume is needed in the face, cheeks, or lips, then fat transfer can be added to the procedure for permanent facial volume restoration. Dr Kreitzberg will help to determine the best surgical plan for facial rejuvenation during a consultation.

Where are the incisions made for the facelift?

Dr Kreitzberg will place the incisions in hidden areas and areas where the scars look like natural wrinkles, making facelift scars virtually invisible. Your incision will be in front of the ear and extend from the hairline to behind the ear. If a neck lift is added to a facelift, then the incision will extend into the hairline behind the ear. Dr Kreitzberg will reduce the tension on the incision, improve the longevity of the results, and create a natural appearance by lifting the structures below the skin known as the SMAS and platysma and not relying on high skin tension. Reducing the tension on a scar will allow it to heal better. Your incision healing will depend on the surgical technique, steps you take to improve healing (nutrition, not smoking, hydrating), and any underlying medical conditions or genetic tendencies.

Will a facelift tighten my neck?

A facelift alone will not tighten the neck. However, you can achieve the goals of a tighter neck with a face and neck lift combo.
