Aging tends to cause facial skin to sag and lose volume, not to mention reveal wrinkles and fine lines we would rather not have. Darrell L. Henderson, MD corrects these issues through facial plastic surgery on patients in Lafayette, LA, who want a younger, more vibrant appearance.
What is Facial Surgery?
The procedures correct a range of cosmetic concerns, such as sun damage, loose skin, wrinkles, fine lines, creases and folds. These procedures may be recommended after an injury, such as bone fractures and tissue damage.

Facial Surgery Procedure
Your plastic surgeon develops an individualized surgical plan to address the concerns you have about your appearance. Each plan is customized to your specific needs and physiology. The surgical plan may include the following:
- Removal and reshaping of bone
- Removal of excess skin and fat
- Tightening of skin and underlying muscles
- Liposuction to remove pockets of fat and improve contours
Preparing for Facial Surgery
The results of your facial surgery are permanent, although your skin should be protected from sunlight to extend the results. In some cases, your facial surgery may be combined with injectable treatments. These treatments are not permanent, and results last from six months to one year or longer.
Facial Surgery Recovery
Bandages are applied after your surgery so you may not see improvements until after the bandages are removed. Even then, you are likely to have initial swelling and bruising. Recovery from facial surgery can take a few weeks or months, but you will see a significant difference once you completely heal.*
*Take note individual results may vary
