Facelift in Toledo, OH | Craig W. Colville, MD, FACS

Understanding Facelift Surgery

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Craig Colville performs facelift surgery in Toledo, Ohio, for women and men seeking to restore a smoother, firmer, and more uplifted facial appearance. Aging inevitably causes changes like flattened cheeks, sagging skin, and jowls, which facelift surgery effectively addresses.

Facelift Candidacy and Considerations

Facelift surgery is appropriate for both women and men across various ages. Dr. Colville evaluates candidacy based on overall health and individual physical characteristics. While some patients might be ready for a facelift in their 40s, others may wait until their 60s.

Common Facelift Concerns Addressed

• Diminished cheek volume causing a flat or gaunt appearance
• Lines and wrinkles around the mouth, nose, and chin
• Loose skin on cheeks and jawline creating jowls
• Excess neck fat under the chin

Surgical Approach and Customization

Dr. Colville customizes each facelift procedure to meet individual needs. Most patients benefit from a traditional facelift with discreet incisions around the ears and hairline. The surgical technique involves repositioning underlying tissues, tightening muscles, and removing excess skin to create natural-looking results.

Potential Complementary Procedures

Patients may combine facelift surgery with additional procedures like neck lift, chin augmentation, or fat grafting to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Dr. Colville guides patients through personalized treatment planning.

Recovery and Expectations

Facelift surgery typically requires 7-10 days of downtime. Most patients take 1-2 weeks off work and can expect initial bruising. While the natural aging process continues, patients often feel they look 10-15 years younger after surgery.

Maintaining Facelift Results

• Use quality skincare products with daily sunscreen
• Maintain a healthy lifestyle
• Avoid tobacco
• Manage stress
• Consider periodic nonsurgical treatments
