Understanding Facelift Procedures

A facelift is a surgical procedure designed to smooth loose skin on the face and neck while reducing visible signs of aging. The technique involves addressing creases, sagging jawlines, jowls, and neck fat deposits by removing excess tissue and tightening underlying muscles.

Facelift Objectives

The primary goals of a facelift include:

• Tightening and smoothing facial and neck skin
• Reducing prominent jowls
• Defining and refining the jawline
• Minimizing skin folds and wrinkles

Ideal Candidates for Facelift

Patients best suited for facelift procedures typically include individuals with:

• Loose neck skin resulting from aging
• Vertical neck bands
• Poorly defined jawline
• Sagging cheeks and pronounced wrinkles
• Skin laxity from significant weight loss

Facelift Techniques

Skin-Only Technique

A traditional approach involving skin removal, though rarely performed due to limited long-term results. Dr. Taleisnik prefers more comprehensive techniques for optimal outcomes.

SMAS Facelift Technique

This advanced method involves tightening the superficial muscle layer beneath facial skin, providing a more durable and natural-looking rejuvenation compared to skin-only procedures.

Surgical Details

Facelift procedures are performed under general anesthesia, with carefully hidden incisions designed to minimize visible scarring. The technique involves repositioning underlying tissues and removing excess skin to create a more youthful appearance.

Recovery and Results

Typical facelift recovery milestones include:

• 7 days off work
• 1-2 days until bandage removal
• 2-3 weeks before resuming exercise
• 6 weeks to achieve optimal results

Procedure Pricing

Facelift procedures typically range from $11,000 to $14,000. Financing options are available through CareCredit®.
