Understanding Facelift Surgery

Facelift surgery is a popular plastic surgery procedure designed to address significant wrinkles and sagging skin on the face and neck. Peninsula Plastic Surgery's experienced surgeons have performed numerous successful facelifts using minimal and discreet incisions, with each surgery carefully tailored to individual patient needs and aesthetic goals.

Goals of a Facelift Procedure

The Facelift Procedure in Salisbury, MD

Peninsula Plastic Surgery performs facelifts using local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Surgeons strategically place incisions within the hairline, around the ear, and potentially under the chin to minimize visible scarring.

Surgical Technique

The procedure involves elevating and repositioning skin, removing excess tissue, and tightening underlying facial muscles. This comprehensive approach ensures natural-looking results that restore a more youthful appearance.

Recovery and Results

Patients typically experience initial bruising and swelling that subsides within 10-20 days. The final facelift results become evident in 4-6 weeks, with continued improvements observable over several months.

Mini Facelift: A Less Invasive Option

Peninsula Plastic Surgery also offers mini facelifts, a less aggressive facial rejuvenation technique. This procedure utilizes shorter incisions and provides a quicker recovery while effectively addressing lower and middle facial areas.

Mini Facelift Advantages

• Shorter surgical time
• Reduced recovery period
• Targeted facial rejuvenation

Patient Considerations

During the initial consultation, surgeons will conduct a comprehensive assessment to determine the most appropriate facelift approach. The surgical plan is customized based on individual anatomy, aesthetic goals, and potential outcomes.

Maintaining Facelift Results

To maximize and prolong facelift results, Peninsula Plastic Surgery recommends a comprehensive skincare program, periodic chemical peels, and specialized laser treatments.
