What is a Facelift?

When it's time to halt the signs of aging, a facelift may be an ideal cosmetic procedure to consider. A facelift (rhytidectomy) is a surgical method to tighten wrinkles and lift sagging skin on the face. A facelift focuses on the lower half of the face and does not include a brow lift, although they can be done simultaneously. Houston plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Schusterman will map out a personalized plan to bring your vision to reality. Nothing is more integral than the natural-looking enhancement of bringing your beauty to the forefront.

Therefore, it is recommended and strongly advised to stop smoking prior to surgery and remain off smoking while your body is healing. Smoking prohibits blood flow and could cause an infection. You should consider a facelift if you experience the following:

  • Sagging jowls
  • Deep folds in the skin
  • Sunken facial features

Facelift Procedure

A facelift is an outpatient procedure where a local or general anesthetic is provided. Then, small incisions are made within skin folds or along the hairline. The skin is separated from the muscles, and excess skin is removed. The skin and muscles are tightened and sutured. A loose bandage is then wrapped around the area.

Facelift Recovery

You will need to have someone drive you home after your facelift procedure. It is recommended to allow your face to heal for the next 7-14 days to enable the swelling and pain to subside. You will be provided with a complete post-op care routine, especially with the rule of staying out of the sun during recovery.

Facelift Results

Your facelift results are expected to last for 10-15 years. The hairline hides the incisions, and any small scars will fade over time. The bruising and swelling will subside in a couple of weeks. You will be provided an entire post-care regimen to keep your face clean and speed the healing process.
