As a respected member of the international plastic surgery community, Dr. Unger believes in restoring youthful contours to transform patients' lives.

What Causes Facial Aging?

Facial aging results from three primary changes: loss of volume, tissue descent, and environmental damage. These transformations primarily impact the mid and lower face, creating an aged appearance that can make you feel older than you are.

Key Aging Factors

• Loss of muscle tone
• Thinning skin
• Decreased bone mass
• Volume loss in cheeks and chin

Facelift Procedure Types

• Dual Plane Facelift

Ideal Candidates for Facelift Surgery

Best candidates for facelift surgery are healthy individuals seeking to improve facial contours, reduce sagging skin, and achieve a more youthful appearance. Patients should have realistic expectations and be non-smokers.

Complementary Procedures

Dr. Unger often recommends complementary procedures to enhance facelift results, including:

• Brow Lift
• Eyelid Surgery
• Facial Fat Grafting
• Non-surgical treatments like BOTOX® and dermal fillers

Recovery and Expectations

Most patients feel more like themselves within one week, with minimal swelling and bruising. Dr. Unger recommends light activities for two weeks, transitioning to normal routines after six weeks.
