Prior to surgery you will meet your surgeon for a consultation to review your medical history, complete a physical exam that includes bloodwork, have photographs taken and discuss the outcome you wish to achieve through surgery.

Usually performed under general anesthesia, your surgeon will operate incisions located behind the hairline (starting near the temples, and around the front of the ear, and hidden in the natural folds) into the deeper tissues beneath the skin to remove excess skin, smooth creases, eliminate sagging skin to contour of the face and neck.

Your incisions will be covered with bandages to minimize swelling and bruising. After the procedure you may experience mild to moderate pain, drainage, swelling, and bruising. Several follow-up appointments will be scheduled during the next two-months after surgery to assure the best recovery; recommendations for post-surgery care and medications will be made to ensure maximum comfort for easy recovery.

A facelift is the best solution to erase signs of aging and achieve a youthful and refreshed appearance while preserving your natural beauty. You will be able to return to social life after two-weeks and with noticeable results after two-to-three months. A facelift is not a permanent procedure as it doesn’t stop the natural aging process, but results can last up to 10-years depending on your metabolism, lifestyle, and diet.
