Advanced Facelift Dothan, AL | Dr. Scott Asher

Understanding Facelift Procedures in Dothan

Aging can significantly impact facial appearance, causing deep creases, sagging jawlines, and loose neck skin. A facelift procedure at Southern Institute of Plastic Surgery offers a comprehensive solution to counteract these natural signs of aging, helping patients restore a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

What is a Facelift?

A facelift, medically known as a rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the mid- to lower face and neck. This transformative treatment addresses multiple aging concerns by tightening facial muscles, removing excess fat, and trimming sagging skin.

Areas Corrected During a Facelift

• Midface sagging
• Deep nasolabial folds
• Jowl formation
• Loose skin under the chin
• Fat deposits in the neck region

Facelift Techniques

Dr. Asher offers three primary facelift techniques tailored to individual patient needs:

• Traditional Facelift: Full facial and neck rejuvenation
• Limited-Incision Facelift: Targeted rejuvenation around eyes and mouth
• Neck Lift: Focused treatment for neck and jawline contours

Candidate Considerations

Ideal facelift candidates typically exhibit:

• Noticeable facial skin sagging
• Remaining skin elasticity
• Good overall health
• Non-smoking status
• Realistic aesthetic expectations

Recovery and Results

Most patients can return to normal activities within two to three weeks. Initial swelling and bruising gradually subside, revealing refined, natural-looking results that can make patients appear ten to fifteen years younger.

Long-Term Perspective

While facelift results are not permanent, they provide lasting improvements. Patients will continue to look better than they would have without the procedure, with potential additional treatments recommended every five to ten years.
