Understanding Facelift Surgery

A facelift (rhytidectomy) at Southeastern Plastic Surgery helps women and men restore a more youthful appearance by rejuvenating the lower face, including the cheeks and jawline. Patients from Destin, Lake City, Dothan, and Valdosta seek expertise from the clinic's skilled surgeons.

What is a Facelift?

A facelift is a surgical procedure addressing multiple signs of facial aging:

• Sagging in the midface region
• Loss of muscle tone resulting in jowls
• Loose skin and fatty deposits under the chin and along the jawline
• Deep creases around the nose, mouth, and under the eyes

Facelift Procedure Details

Southeastern Plastic Surgery performs facelift surgery under general anesthesia, typically taking 4 to 6 hours. The procedure involves:

• Strategic incisions in natural facial creases
• Elevation and tightening of facial tissues
• Muscle and skin repositioning
• Removal of excess tissue
• Careful re-draping for natural-looking results

Complementary Procedures

Southeastern Plastic Surgery often combines facelift surgery with additional procedures for comprehensive facial rejuvenation:

• Brow lift
• Eyelid surgery

Recovery and Results

Facelift recovery typically follows this general timeline:

• First week: Peak swelling and bruising
• 7-14 days: Suture removal, return to light activities
• 2-3 weeks: Public appearance
• 3 months: Final results achieved

Candidate Criteria

Ideal facelift candidates are healthy, non-smoking individuals without medical conditions that might impair healing. Most patients are between 40-70 years old.
