What Can Facelift Surgery Do for You?
A facelift can smooth out facial creases, tighten the facial skin, and reduce the appearance of acne scars in some cases. Patients often appreciate how this procedure helps to eliminate sagging around the chin and neck. Although a facelift does not lift the brows or eyes, you can get an eye lift with a facelift if you would like to address this, too.
Can a Facelift Surgery Make You Look Younger?
As people age, they lose elasticity in the skin. Wrinkles and sagging become more pronounced with time. A facelift surgery significantly reduces these tell-tale signs of aging by restoring a more youthful and firmer look to your face.
How Long Does a Facelift Last?
The results you receive from a facelift are not permanent; however, they are long-term. Many patients continue to see results for 10 to 15 years after their procedure.
How Should You Prepare for This Procedure?
You will receive clear instructions when you meet with Dr. Donna Krummen for your consultation. Generally, you should not smoke, vape, or take any anti-inflammatory drugs within three weeks of the surgery, before or after. These can increase bleeding and make the healing process take longer.
Does Facelift Surgery Leave Scars?
All surgeries will leave some scars. However, this is a cosmetic procedure, so the goal is to improve your appearance. A skilled surgeon like Dr. Krummen knows how to minimize scarring by working with the natural contours of your face. The result is barely noticeable marks.
Can You Lift the Neck Without a Full Facelift Surgery?
Yes. While a facelift surgery will lift the neck, some people prefer to get a neck lift instead. This all depends on your specific aesthetic goals and is something your doctor can discuss with you so you can make the most informed decision.
