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 finalize in the following weeks. Vital components of the recovery process are maintaining an effective skincare routine, consistently using sunscreen, and following a healthy lifestyle.
