As you age, you will notice changes all over your body, especially the skin on your face. If you want to freshen up your look and take years off of your appearance, you might be considering a facelift. Dr. Leo Urbinelli at Premier Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery of NY in Syracuse, NY offers facelift services and a wide range of additional plastic surgery procedures. If you are considering this procedure, his exceptional care and world-class expertise will make it a pleasant one.
How a Facelift Can Enhance Your Appearance
Aging causes your skin to lose moisture and elasticity. Your body produces less collagen, leading to facial sagging, fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. A facelift can help you look younger and enhance the appearance and contours of your face. A facelift can:
- Smooth out your skin
- Improve wrinkles and fine lines
- Reduce or eliminate sagging facial skin
What To Expect Trom the Procedure
During a facelift, your Syracuse, NY, plastic surgeon will make a small incision in front of the ear and behind the ear (following the unique landmarks to hide any scars) as well as hidden in the hairline, lifting the facial skin. The excess skin removed, and the deeper tissue is elevated and sculpted back over the face. Your surgeon will close the wound with sutures, hiding the scars under your hairline and in the shadows of existing creases in front of the ear.
A facelift procedure requires 3 to 4 hours to complete and is performed on an outpatient basis. You will be under anesthesia or sedation, so you must bring a driver with you to take you home. You can expect a social downtime of about 2 weeks, and you will enjoy the full benefits of your facelift after about 3-6 months.
A facelift can be combined with other facial surgeries, including:
- An eyelid surgery to eliminate puffy areas around your eyes and lift your eyelid skin
- A brow lift to raise your eyebrows, smoothing out forehead wrinkles
- A neck lift to eliminate sagging skin around your neck and jaws
- Fat grafting to fill fat loss with aging along the central face, cheeks and temple areas
