About facelifts

Throughout life, the skin on our faces can become thinner, lose its volume and hydration, as well as lose its elasticity. The soft tissue of one’s face gives way to the pull of gravity and decreased skin and tissue integrity, and thus droops over time. Your cheeks will likely lose some of their natural volume and appear hollowed out. Even the bones in one’s face will fluctuate and lose some of their bone density.

Dr. Andres has the education and skill to ensure that every facelift looks natural, balanced, and coincides with meeting all of your goals.

What are the benefits of a facelift?

Restoring lost volume and reviving contours in the face can make it possible to look 10-20 years younger with a single procedure. Additionally, it can help smooth out facial lines and wrinkles for a tighter, glowing look and lift sagging skin and tissue for a more youthful appearance.

Types of facelifts

The Mini-Facelift

This is an excellent option for those looking to reduce early signs of aging in the lower region of the face and neck. It uses shorter incisions and less skin removal, resulting in fewer scars and shorter downtime.

The Standard Facelift

A standard facelift tightens sagging skin, reduces wrinkles, and restores a youthful contour to the face, neck, and jaw.

The Deep Plane Facelift

This procedure utilizes advanced techniques that lift the deeper layers of facial muscles while lifting the skin over them. This type of facelift can provide longer-lasting results than the Standard or Mini Facelifts.

Facelifts and accompanying procedures

Dr. Andres offers a range of adjunct procedures to optimize the perfect facelift, including:

Fat grafting and injectable fillers which compensate for volume loss by adding your own fat or filler into the cheek, temple, jaw, and lip/oral areas.
Liposculpture for any non-essential fat around your jawline and chin area.
Cheek, jaw, or lip implants to restore the volume in those areas that have lost volume for a youthful and rejuvenated appearance

What is the recovery for a facelift?

After your facelift surgery, you shall be able to return home with the treated areas properly bandaged to promote proper healing. Any pain that you experience may be completely normal and is usually somewhat minimal. Keeping your head elevated for the first week will help with swelling. Sleeping with a few extra pillows behind your head can be very helpful. Generally, most patients can return to their day-to-day activities within a few weeks once the swelling and bruising have settled down.

Non-surgical alternatives

If you are not quite ready for surgery or not a great surgical candidate at that moment, several non-surgical treatments are available. You may want to consider Botox for wrinkles and/or fillers/injectables to add volume. Skin rejuvenation procedures such as peels, dermabrasion, and lasers are also great modalities to improve skin appearance and create a more youthful appearance. These non-surgical alternatives are often used in conjunction with surgical options to optimize the end result. To discuss and determine which treatment(s) is proper for you and will most aptly reach your goals, schedule a consultation with Dr. Andres.
