Face lift

  • Consultation: 30 min
  • Procedure: 2-3 hours
  • Recovery: 10-14 days
  • Duration of results: years

The traditional facelift is most effective in improving the mid and lower face, as well as the neck. Additional procedures can be performed at the time of facelift, or as separate operations, to improve the forehead and brow, eyelids, and wrinkles around the mouth. The facelift procedure is performed to tighten the skin of the face and the neck, and give the patient a more youthful, rested and freshened appearance. This procedure includes, as necessary, tightening of the muscles of the neck, and removal of excess fat in the neck.

The surgery can last 2-3 hours, and the stitches are usually removed in stages over the next five to ten days. Bruising and swelling can last up to 4 weeks, and it may be several months before all of the swelling is gone. The scars fade over several months, and in most cases is minimally noticeable.

The goals of facelift surgery are to give a more youthful and rested appearance, and how long the results last vary from patient to patient. Makeup can be applied within a few days after surgery. There is no upper or lower age limit for individuals desiring this operation.
