Rejuvenating Facelift in Portland, Oregon

Understanding Facelift Surgery in Portland

Aging is an inevitable process that impacts facial appearance through decreased collagen and elastin production. As skin loses elasticity, visible signs of aging emerge, including wrinkles, sagging skin, and reduced facial volume. Portland facial plastic surgeon Dr. David Magilke specializes in facelift procedures that combat these natural changes.

Ideal Candidates for Facelift Surgery

Potential facelift candidates typically demonstrate the following facial characteristics:

• Deep-set wrinkles in the mid-face region
• Pronounced jowls or loose skin along the jawline
• Prominent marionette lines
• Significant nasolabial folds
• Sagging neck skin or horizontal neck bands

Facelift Procedure Details

Performed as an outpatient procedure under anesthesia, facelift surgery involves carefully repositioning facial tissues to restore a more youthful appearance. The surgical approach is customized to each patient's unique anatomical needs and aesthetic goals.

Surgical Technique

Dr. Magilke uses advanced techniques to: • Create strategic incisions around the ears • Carefully lift and reposition underlying facial tissues • Remove excess skin • Redistribute displaced facial fat

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect a recovery period of one to two weeks, with initial swelling and bruising gradually subsiding. The result is a natural, refreshed appearance that typically maintains its improved aesthetic for five to ten years.

Complementary Procedures

Many patients opt to combine facelift with complementary procedures like neck lift, brow lift, or blepharoplasty to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation. These combined approaches can optimize surgical results and minimize overall recovery time.
