Facelift - Rhytidectomy
A facelift can reverse the signs of aging
by tightening facial muscles and redraping the skin for
a smooth and youthful result.
Procedure:
The first thing to know about facelifts is that New Image
never does any two exactly the same. Just as each person
ages a bit differently, each facelift procedure has to
be modified to address the particular needs of each person.
In general, soft tissues of th eface that tend to drop
with age leaving jowls, sunken eyes and deep creases between
the nose and mouth are lifted and resuspended on the cheekbones
where they used to be. Then, using strategically placed
incisions in the hairline and behind the ear, excess skin
is removed to provide a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Recovery:
Pain is usually minimal and can be managed with oral pain
medication. The patient usually returns home the same
day as the surgery. Bruising and swelling subsides in
one to two weeks. The patient can then return to work
or social situations.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Will I get a "pulled" look
from the procedure?
No. New Image uses advanced techniques that allow for
lifting sunken facial features without having to pull
tightly on the skin (which is responsible for an unnatural
look.
