What is a Facelift?
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce visible signs of aging in the face and neck. This procedure can address:
- Sagging in the middle of the face
- Deep creases below the lower eyelids
- Deep creases along the nose extending to the corner of the mouth
- Loss of skin tone creating jowls
- Loose skin and excess fat under the chin and jaw
Pre-Operative Guidelines
Consultation
Your facelift journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Simmons or Dr. Flores. During this session, he will evaluate your facial structure, discuss your goals, and determine the most suitable technique for your needs.
Medical Evaluation
Preparation
To prepare for surgery, you may be advised to:
- Stop smoking at least six weeks before the procedure.
- Avoid certain medications that can increase bleeding, such as aspirin and anti-inflammatory drugs.
- Arrange for transportation and post-operative care, as you will need assistance immediately following the surgery.
Steps To Proceed
The Facelift Procedure
We prioritize a seamless and transparent process for our esteemed patients. To embark on your transformative journey
-
Anesthesia
The procedure typically begins with the administration of anesthesia, either general anesthesia or intravenous sedation, to ensure your comfort throughout the surgery.
-
Incision
Dr. Simmons or or Dr. Flores will make strategically placed incisions, usually beginning in the hairline at the temples, continuing around the ear, and ending in the lower scalp. For a limited facelift, shorter incisions may be used.
-
Repositioning and Lifting
The underlying tissues and muscles are then repositioned and lifted. Excess skin is trimmed away, and the remaining skin is draped over the newly uplifted contours, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.
-
Closing Incisions
The incisions are meticulously closed with sutures or skin adhesives. Dr. Simmons and or Dr. Flores ensure that the scars are well-concealed within the hairline and natural contours of the face and ears.
Post Op
Post-Operative Care
Immediate Post-Op: After the procedure, your face will be bandaged to minimize swelling and bruising. Drainage tubes may be placed to remove any excess blood or fluid.
