Face Lift

A face-lift operation reduces the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin on the lower section of your face and neck. What was once thought of as a procedure for older ladies is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures among younger patients and male face-lifts are now becoming more popular.

The procedure tightens your skin by making an incision on the temple by the ear into the scalp. The skin is then pulled taunt and reattached. If there is excess skin or tissue remaining it is removed. The operation produces firmer, younger looking skin.

During your consultation, your doctor will examine your bone structure and your skin’s texture and elasticity. The changes you hope to make in your appearance will be discussed as well as the details of the procedure, the risks associated with the operation, and the changes you can expect from the surgery. It is important to have realistic expectations because while a face-lift can improve your overall appearance it will not stop the aging process.

You can expect a two to three week recovery period after your face-lift operation. Swelling should subside after a few days and bruising within a couple of weeks.
