Face and Neck Lift

The face shows some of the most visible signs of aging first before any other place on the body. If your reflection in the mirror is starting to look older than you feel, a facelift (rhytidectomy) may help you look younger and more refreshed. By incorporating the latest skin tightening techniques, Dr. Bassilios facelift tightens underlying facial tissues, removes excess fat, and smoothens loose skin on the face and neck. This improves cheek folds, loose jowls and sagging skin around the neck. 

Dr Samer uses Deep Plane facelift techniques in order to lift the face with a vertical vector and tighten the neck with an horizontal vector. This technique has shown the best improvement, with a very natural and lasting result.

BEST CANDIDATES

Good candidates for facelifts are men or women who demonstrate:

· Looseness of skin in the middle face

· Looseness of skin in the jaw line and neck

· Loss of volume in skin of the face and/or neck

WHAT TO EXPECT

During the consultation, we will evaluate the patient’s overall health along with their skin quality, skin looseness, folds, and wrinkles. In addition, the underlying bone anatomy will be assessed and a facial rejuvenation treatment plan will be created that will help attain the best results. There are several variations of a surgical facelift, including a skin-only lift, which is reserved for patients with less sagging, a mid-facelift, which address the cheeks and mid-face area, and for those with severe sagging, a deep-plane lift, which addresses deeper wrinkles and folds. It is very common to combine nonsurgical techniques with a facelift to maximize results. This may include wrinkle fillers or Botulinum toxin, as well as a chemical peel or a laser treatment to address skin irregularities on the surface, such as scars, sunspots and blemishes.

FACELIFT RECOVERY

Depending on the extent of the facelift and the patient’s overall health, patients may have an overnight stay or be discharged later in the evening. Swelling and bruising are expected after facelift surgery. The swelling and bruising will start to resolve during the first week after surgery, although this will vary between patients. Usually, patients may go out in public within 10 days with the aid of camouflage make-up. Most patients can resume modest activity in 2 weeks. A complete recovery from a facelift surgery occurs in about 4-6 weeks.
