Facelift Surgery in Culver City, CA

What is a Facelift?

A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, involves carefully lifting facial soft tissues, removing excess skin, and redraping the skin over the newly contoured features. During a facelift surgery, surgeons can make incisions along the hairline from the temples down to behind the ears and around the front of the ears. Performing a facelift surgery can have a number of benefits. Several signs of facial aging can be reduced by facelift surgery, including loose skin, turkey neck, loose jawlines, and deep creases beside your mouth or around your cheeks. 

Benefits Of Facelift surgery

By performing a facelift surgery under the expert guidance of our renowned plastic surgery team in Culver City CA you can revitalize the tissues and muscles beneath your facial structure. Facelift surgery can boost your confidence and reduce the appearance of deep wrinkles and creases on your face. You can redefine your jawline and tighten your jowls. With this procedure, you are able to restore a more youthful appearance by lifting drooping facial areas such as cheeks and eyebrows. Besides rejuvenating the face, a facelift also enhances your facial appearance.

Who Can Get Facelift Surgery?

In general, people who are eligible for facelifts are in good general health and have realistic expectations regarding the outcome. You might be experiencing loose, sagging skin under your chin and neck, causing excess fat to gather and a drooping appearance.

Facelift Surgery – Procedure

Facelifts are usually performed as outpatient procedures. Facelift surgery is usually done under general anesthesia, and a local anesthetic or sedatives may also be used. In most cases, a facelift takes several hours, but the procedure can vary depending on the patient. The majority of patients are able to go home on the day of surgery, which can take between 2 and 5 hours, however, an overnight stay may be necessary in some cases. With precision and skill, our plastic surgery experts perform facelifts in Culver City CA. According to the type of facelift you get, you may have an incision around your hairline, around your ears, on your lower scalp, or under your mouth or chin. Most incisions are made in areas where hair or make-up can easily disguise them. Our plastic surgery experts follow a series of techniques that allow us to give all our patients a youthful, fresh aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Results and Recovery of Facelift Surgery

It is common for facelift patients to return to work after the initial healing has finished (usually between 5 and 10 days) and the stitches have been removed. Facelifts typically take four to six weeks to recover from, but you don’t need to take all that time off. For most patients, returning to work requires just one or two weeks off. As long as the bruising hasn’t completely faded by then, residual bruising can be covered up with makeup. Immediately after your facelift surgery, there may be some bruising and swelling. Incisions are often covered with dressings, and the stitches are usually removed after five to ten days. You might be given oral medication to relieve the initial discomfort. In most cases, scars fade within a few months.

Preparing for Facelift Surgery: How to do it right

It is important to prepare for a facelift well in advance of the procedure date, just like any other cosmetic procedure. Blood clotting and bruising may be accelerated by some medications and supplements. Don’t forget to tell your surgeon if you are taking any medications. Make sure you don’t smoke or drink at least 2 weeks before surgery. Examine your health by getting a lab test or a medical assessment. Your plastic surgery expert might prescribe taking certain medications or adjusting your current medication. In order to prepare the skin for surgery, you might be advised to use certain products. Getting to and from the surgery will require a ride, so plan accordingly.  Make travel plans with your family and friends for the day of surgery.
