The Procedure
During a facelift, incisions are typically made in front of and behind the ear, extending into the hairline. The surgeon tightens underlying muscles and tissues, removes excess fat, and redrapes the skin for a smoother, more youthful contour.
Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery from a facelift typically takes 2-3 weeks. Bruising and swelling are common but subside over time. Most patients can return to normal activities within 2 weeks, with final results visible after several months as swelling completely resolves.
Expected Results
A facelift can provide a more rested, youthful appearance that can last for years. While it cannot stop the aging process, it can turn back the clock significantly.
