Understanding Facelift (Rhytidectomy) Procedures

A facelift procedure offers comprehensive facial rejuvenation for patients experiencing age-related changes. As the "Baby Boomer" generation seeks aesthetic improvements, Carolina Plastic Surgery provides personalized facial enhancement solutions tailored to individual patient needs.

Facelift Candidacy and Indications

A facelift may be recommended for patients experiencing:

• Loss of skin elasticity and muscle tone in the face and neck
• Prominent jowls and deep facial creases
• Wrinkles around the nose and mouth
• Diminished chin and neck contours
• Tired or aged facial appearance

Procedure Variations

Facelift procedures range from "mini" to "standard" based on the extent of skin laxity. Carolina Plastic Surgery customizes each procedure to address specific patient concerns and desired outcomes.

Surgical Details

The facelift operation is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Patients typically return home with head and neck dressings, which are usually removed the following day.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect bruising and swelling to decrease to socially acceptable levels within 10-20 days. The final facelift results become evident in 4-6 weeks, with continued improvement possible over several months.

Procedure Considerations

Carolina Plastic Surgery emphasizes that not every patient is an ideal candidate for facial rejuvenation procedures. Each treatment plan is developed with careful consideration of individual patient characteristics and aesthetic goals.
