Facelift Surgery Overview

Creating A More Youthful Countenance With A Facelift

A facelift is one of the most common procedures done by plastic surgeons, today and in decades past. A facelift is a procedure designed to reverse some of the changes that occur with time and gravity, aging, and muscle contraction.

Through inconspicuous incisions around the ears, the tissues of the face can be accessed, re-positioned, and excess skin and tissue removed. A professionally-performed facelift will smooth and firm your face and take a decade or more off your appearance.

Should I Get a Facelift?

If you see any of the following facial issues, you may be a candidate for either a full facelift or a mini facelift:

  • Jowls
  • Deep laugh lines
  • Lack of jawline definition
  • Wrinkles, lines, creases
  • Sagging facial skin
  • A droopy, older appearance you want restored

To be a good candidate for this anti-aging surgery, you should be in good general health and safe to undergo surgery.

The Facelift Procedure: What to Expect

A facelift will be performed at our state-of-the-art outpatient surgery center in Las Vegas. You will be under deep sedation and will not remember your surgery. The surgery is customized to resolve your individual facial problems, including removing excess skin, tightening underlying muscle structure, addressing jowls and restoring a firm, youthful jawline. When you awaken, you will have surgical drains which will be removed in your follow-up appointment the next day.

Facelift Surgery Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the typical recovery time after a facelift?

Recovery varies by individual, but most patients can expect swelling and bruising to subside within 10 to 14 days. Many return to non-strenuous activities within two weeks, with full recovery taking several weeks.

2. How long do facelift results typically last?

Facelift results can last between 10 to 15 years, depending on factors like skin quality, lifestyle, and aging. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and skincare routine can help prolong the results.

3. What are the potential risks associated with facelift surgery?

As with any surgical procedure, risks include bleeding, infection, scarring, and nerve injury. However, complications are rare when performed by an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon.

4. Will a facelift make me look unnatural or "pulled"?

Modern facelift techniques focus on repositioning deeper facial tissues for a natural, refreshed appearance, avoiding the overly tight or "windblown" look associated with older methods.

5. Can a facelift be combined with other procedures?

Yes, facelifts are often combined with procedures like eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), brow lifts, or neck lifts to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Your surgeon will discuss the best combination based on your goals.

6. Am I a good candidate for a facelift?

Ideal candidates are individuals experiencing facial sagging or deep wrinkles who are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the surgery.
