Discover how this surgical facial rejuvenation procedure can transform your look.
What Is a Facelift?
A facelift is a procedure performed to reverse the effects of age, gravity, sun exposure, and daily stress by removing excess fat, tightening facial muscles, and readjusting the facial skin. It is also an excellent procedure for those with excess skin hanging from the neck or jowls. A facelift may be done with other facial procedures, such as a forehead/brow lift, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), or a nose job (rhinoplasty).
Benefits of Facelift Surgery
Here are the facelift procedure benefits you can expect:
- Rejuvenated appearance – Reduces wrinkles and tightens sagging skin, giving you a more youthful and refreshed look.
- Long-lasting results – Provides results that can last for years, far outlasting non-surgical treatments, making it a worthwhile investment in your appearance.
- Natural look – Enhances your natural beauty without looking “overdone,” giving you improvements that are subtle and harmonious with your facial features.
- Boosts facial contours – Restores definition to the jawline and neck, creating a more sculpted profile.
Good Candidates for a Facelift
Patients who want to reduce signs of facial aging to regain their youthful and vibrant look are good candidates for a facelift. This procedure works best when patients are in good health and do not have any pre-existing conditions that could affect healing. Patients should keep their expectations realistic, and a positive disposition helps.
It’s worth noting that this procedure will provide the best results to patients who quit harmful habits like excessive smoking. Patients will need to quit smoking several weeks before the date of their facelift.
Your Consultation
For patients who want a facelift, scheduling a consultation with the best facelift surgeon in Dayton is a must. It will give them a better idea of what the facial plastic surgery procedure will involve, allowing them to make a more informed decision. Patients are encouraged to ask as many questions as possible about the procedure so that they can be properly prepared.
The patient’s face will be carefully examined. Patients will also be asked questions about their health and medical history to ensure that nothing will get in the way of benefiting from the procedure. It will include allergies, past procedures, and current medications.
The Facelift Procedure
During facelift surgery, small incisions are made around the hairline and ears to minimize visible scarring. Excess skin is carefully removed, and the underlying tissues are repositioned and tightened to create a smoother, firmer appearance. The procedure typically takes several hours.
Recovery and Aftercare
Post-surgery, patients may experience swelling and bruising, which gradually subside over a few weeks. It’s important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by Dr. Steven P. Schmidt, Dr. Matthew J. Fox, or Dr. Jason T. Hedrick for optimal healing. Most patients return to their regular activities within two weeks, enjoying their refreshed look.
