The Facelift Process:
The Consultation: Many of our patients are not looking for radical changes, but a freshening up. During the initial consultation, our surgeons will discuss your goals in detail and use their expertise to help you select the right treatment or treatment plan to achieve those goals. Our practice combines cutting-edge non-surgical treatments alongside our surgeons’ decades of experience to help ensure patients are matched to the treatments that will lead to the best outcomes.
The Procedure: Facelift treatments are a surgical procedure that is performed in a hospital setting. The surgery usually takes about 3 hours and is performed under general anesthesia.
Post-Care & Follow-Ups: It is very common to experience bruising, swelling, and tenderness for the first few weeks after the procedure. Most patients need to take off at least 10-14 days for immediate recovery, with the full recovery timeline taking up to six weeks. Patient wear a chinstrap post-operatively for one to two weeks.
Different Types of Facelifts
A mini facelift is a modified version of the facelift procedure. While a full facelift is designed to address the entire face from forehead to chin, a mini facelift focuses on the lower face. Mini facelifts primarily help patients who have issues with their neck, chin, jowls, and nasolabial folds (the two folds that frame the mouth and nose). To determine if a patient is a better candidate for a mini facelift or a full facelift, our surgeons will discuss your overall goals and consider a variety of factors.
Combining Facelifts With Other Treatments
Surgical Treatments
It is very common for facelifts to be combined with other treatments. For example, other surgical treatments may include blepharoplasty, brow lifts, or facial liposuction. Facial liposuction is the most often combined treatment with facelifts since it can help remove excess fat and help sculpt the face.
Non-Surgical Treatments
Patients often combine surgical facial rejuvenation treatments with non-surgical procedures including injectables like Botox Cosmetic or skin tightening treatments like Morpheus8. It is also common for patients to seek “maintenance” treatments after getting a facelift. These treatments help patients maintain their results over time.
