| Who is a candidate: |
If you have sagging tissue and wrinkles in the midface, jawline, and neck and are bothered by the signs of aging in your face, a facelift may be right for you. |
| |
|
| Intended results: |
The procedure corrects visible signs of aging such as deep cheek
folds, jowls, and loose skin on the front and sides of your neck. The procedure restores firmness to create a more youthful and rested appearance. |
| |
|
| Procedure: |
Your loose facial skin is freed from its underlying tissues and excess skin is trimmed. In some instances, the deeper tissues may also need to be repositioned to restore a more youthful contour to your face. A small incision beneath your chin permits the removal of fat and smoothing of the cord-like muscle bands in your neck. |
| |
|
| Healing: |
Postoperatively, you will experience temporary skin discoloration and some tightness or numbness in your face and neck. You can wear cosmetics after a few days, and patients often return to work in about two weeks. |
