Here’s an overview of the different cosmetic issues that can be addressed with this procedure:
Having a facelift provides a range of benefits that extend beyond purely physical improvements:
Aspirin, anti-inflammatory medications, and certain herbal supplements can increase bleeding and bruising during and after surgery. Refrain from consuming these before your facelift. We will provide you with comprehensive guidance on this.
Finally, it’s essential to prepare for your aftercare once the procedure is complete. Due to the effects of anesthesia, you should arrange for someone to drive you home post-surgery and stay with you for at least the first night. This assistance will ensure you can focus on rest and recovery—a critical element in achieving the best possible results.
By thoroughly preparing for your facelift, you can pave the way toward a smoother procedure, better recovery, and—ultimately—a more satisfying transformation.
Facelift pricing varies based on the procedure’s extent and your specific goals. All these details will be thoroughly discussed during your consultation, providing you with a comprehensive understanding of the investment.
After the procedure, compression garments or bandages may be used to reduce swelling and provide support during the healing process. The new appearance of your face may boost your self-confidence. The natural aging process will continue, but a facelift can take years off your appearance and most patients find the outcomes long-lasting.
Most people decide to have a facelift because they want to look younger. As we age, our skin loses elasticity and volume. Some people may look at their reflection in the mirror and feel like their facial appearance makes them look older than they feel. A facelift is a powerful tool in the fight against visible aging, but its suitability greatly depends on an individual’s health, lifestyle, and expectations. You might wish to consider a facelift if you’re noticing “jowls” on the lower face and are self-conscious about the way your face and neck look with the sagging skin. Ideal candidates for facelifts include individuals who are in a good state of health and do not have any medical conditions that impair healing, non-smokers, individuals who are dissatisfied with signs of aging that are seen in the face, and patients who have a positive outlook and realistic expectations of improvement rather than perfection.
Patients who have a strong, well-defined bone structure with high cheekbones and a sharp jawline will often achieve the most long-lasting results. Facelifts are best for those who have a relatively thin facial structure and those with a good skin tone that is fairly elastic and overall good skin quality. Facial anatomy is one of the most important factors in deciding on the most suitable facial rejuvenation procedure. Our team will assess your eligibility for a facelift during your consultation and explore alternative procedures if necessary. We will evaluate your bone structure, face shape, fat distribution, and the quality of your skin to determine the right facial rejuvenation procedure.
Other than facelifts, Sood Center offers an array of rejuvenating face surgery options, including eyelid surgery, brow lift, and non-surgical treatments. We’re happy to discuss these often complementary procedures during your consultation.
The skin around the eyes often ages faster than it does on other areas of the face. Sagging or low-set eyebrows may also occur, making you look tired. A brow lift or forehead lift is designed for lifting and tightening the skin above the eyebrows to provide a smoother and more youthful appearance. Eyelid surgery improves the look of the upper and lower eyelids by reducing bagginess and excess skin.
Our medspa also has treatments for addressing the surface-level signs of aging a facelift won’t touch. Laser skin resurfacing, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion can help with spots and fine lines, while dermal fillers can add volume to key areas, and neuromodulators like BOTOX® and Dysport® can relax contraction-related wrinkles on the forehead, next to the eyes, and elsewhere. These non-surgical cosmetic treatments complement your facelift results and go hand in hand with your daily skincare routine. If you have recently had a facelift, give yourself enough time to fully heal before you undergo skin rejuvenation treatments and injectables.
Though it is a more invasive option that requires more recovery time, a facelift provides much more significant and visible results in comparison to injectable treatments like BOTOX®. Facelifts can also correct more serious issues, such as severe sagging skin that cannot be addressed with non-surgical options. As a facelift is a surgical procedure, the results are also much longer-lasting compared to non-surgical options.
Every patient is treated as a unique individual at Sood Center—and for good reason! Your face sets you apart. It’s what makes you look like you.
