Facelift
Have you noticed a deepening of your smile lines over time? Do you have loose skin and excess wrinkles of the face and jowls?
Facelift is a surgical procedure that serves to 1) reposition muscles and fat pads that have descended over time and 2) remove excess skin. Whether caused by normal aging, weight loss, sun exposure or genetics, we lose support of our facial muscles and fat pads which contribute to nasolabial folds and jowls. Additionally, we lose collagen and elastin in our skin causing looseness and wrinkling. A facelift addresses these causes of aging by tightening both the muscle and skin layers to restore a more youthful configuration. Facelift is often combined with necklift, fat grafting or browlift.
Am I a good candidate for a facelift?
Good candidates for a facelift include:
- Stable at your desired weight
- Excess skin and/or jowls and deep nasolabial folds
- Blood pressure well controlled
- Non smoker or willing to quit smoking
- Ideally, no previous facial surgeries
What can I expect before and after a facelift?
Before:
- During consultation with Drs. Pham or Goodrich, we will develop a collaborative treatment plan to ensure all of your concerns are addressed and medical-grade photography will be obtained
- It may be necessary to refer you to your PCP for tight blood pressure control to reduce risk of adverse outcomes
- In general, the procedure is performed in the OR, but in certain cases, it can be offered in office.
- Avoid NSAIDs/blood thinning medications/supplements 2 weeks pre-operatively
After:
- There will be frequent post-operative visits within the first 2 weeks.
- There may be drains that remain immediately following the procedure
- You can expect bruising and swelling which will improve over time
- Often times a compressive dressing/wrap will need to be work continuously for 2 weeks post operatively
- It can take several months to achieve your end result
