Facelift
Start At $16,000
A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to reverse the signs of aging by lifting and tightening sagging facial tissues, resulting in a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. By addressing wrinkles, fine lines, and skin laxity, a facelift can help restore confidence and enhance self-esteem. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about facelifts, including their benefits, procedure, recovery, and more.
What is a Facelift?
A facelift is a surgical procedure aimed at improving the visible signs of aging in the face and neck. It involves lifting and repositioning the underlying facial muscles and tissues, removing excess skin, and smoothing out wrinkles and creases to achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Facelifts can address various concerns, including sagging jowls, deep facial folds, and a lax neck contour, resulting in a firmer, more defined facial profile.
How Much Does Facelift Cost?
At Rejuuv Med, facelift procedures start from $16,000. The total cost can be influenced by factors such as the extent of the procedure, any additional treatments desired, and the specific needs of the patient.
Benefits of a Facelift:
A facelift offers numerous benefits for individuals seeking to rejuvenate their appearance, including:
- Tightening and lifting sagging facial tissues.
- Smoothing out wrinkles, fine lines, and creases.
- Restoring youthful contours to the cheeks, jawline, and neck.
- Improving facial symmetry and proportion.
- Boosting self-confidence and enhancing overall facial aesthetics.
- Long-lasting results that can provide a more youthful appearance for years to come.
Who is a Good Candidate?
Ideal candidates for a facelift are individuals who:
- Have noticeable signs of facial aging, such as sagging skin, deep wrinkles, or jowls.
- Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure.
- Have realistic expectations about the recovery process and are willing to follow post-operative care instructions.
- Desire a long-term solution for improving facial aesthetics and are committed to maintaining their results through a healthy lifestyle and skincare regimen.
How is the Facelift Procedure Done?
The facelift procedure involves the following steps:
- Anesthesia: The patient is given either local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia to ensure comfort during the procedure.
- Incisions: Rejuuvmed surgeon makes discreet incisions in strategic locations, such as along the hairline, around the ears, and possibly under the chin, to access the underlying facial tissues.
- Tissue manipulation: Rejuuvmed surgeon lifts and repositions the underlying facial muscles and tissues, removes excess skin, and may perform fat grafting or tissue rearrangement to achieve optimal facial contours.
- Closure: Once the desired improvements are made, the incisions are meticulously closed with sutures or skin adhesives, leaving behind minimal scarring that is easily concealed within the natural contours of the face
Recovery Time:
Recovery following a facelift varies depending on the extent of the procedure and individual healing factors. Generally, patients can expect:
- Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort for the first week or two after surgery, which can be managed with prescribed medications and cold compresses.
- Instructions for post-operative care, including keeping the head elevated, avoiding strenuous activities, and attending follow-up appointments with Rejuuvmed surgeon.
- Return to work and social activities within two to three weeks, with full healing and resolution of swelling and bruising occurring over several months.
Risk Factors:
While facelifts are generally safe when performed by our qualified and experienced plastic surgeon, potential risks and complications may include:
- Bleeding, infection, or adverse reaction to anesthesia.
- Poor wound healing or visible scarring.
- Temporary or permanent changes in facial sensation or expression.
- Asymmetry or uneven results.
- Hair loss around the incision sites.
Can a Facelift be Combined with Other Procedures?
Yes, facelifts can be combined with other surgical or non-surgical procedures to address multiple aesthetic concerns and achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Common complementary procedures may include:
- Neck lift to address sagging skin and muscle laxity in the neck area.
- Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) to rejuvenate the upper and lower eyelids.
- Brow lift to elevate and reshape the eyebrows for a more youthful appearance.
- Injectable treatments such as dermal fillers or Botox® to enhance facial volume and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.
A facelift is a highly effective surgical procedure for reversing the visible signs of aging and achieving a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
