Facelift Little Rock, AZ | Wright Plastic Surgery: Dr. Eric Wright

Understanding Facelift Surgery

The face is one of the first areas to show signs of aging. Time, genetics, and sun damage can impact skin quality and create visible wrinkles and imperfections. Many patients from Fayetteville, Jonesboro, Conway, Hot Springs, and Pine Bluff experience self-consciousness about loose skin and saggy jowls.

What is a Facelift?

Facelift surgery is an aesthetic procedure designed to reduce aging signs along the face and neck. The surgical technique addresses loose, sagging skin and drooping muscles by tightening skin and readjusting underlying facial tissues.

Surgical Improvements Include:

• Lifting sagging cheeks
• Creating a defined jawline
• Adding volume to cheek areas
• Reducing facial folds and wrinkles

Mini Facelift: A Less Invasive Option

A mini facelift offers a less extensive surgical approach. Performed with limited incisions around the ears, this technique smooths cheeks and tightens the jawline. Ideal candidates have mild to moderate facial laxity in the mid to lower face regions.

Complementary Procedures

Dr. Wright often recommends combining facelift surgery with complementary procedures to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation:

• Neck lift for contour refinement
• Eyelid surgery for excess skin removal
• Liposuction to sculpt neck and chin
• Fat grafting to restore lost volume
• Laser skin resurfacing

Surgical Procedure Details

Facelift surgery involves strategic incisions extending from the temple to behind the ear. Dr. Wright carefully adjusts deep facial tissues, lifting them to a higher position and trimming loose skin. The procedure typically takes 3 to 6 hours, depending on individual requirements.

Recovery Expectations

Initial recovery requires keeping the head elevated to minimize swelling. Most patients return to work within 10 to 14 days and can resume exercise after one month. Results continue developing over several months, becoming increasingly refined.
