Advanced Facelift in Keller, TX | Dr. Candis Lovelace, MD, FACS
Understanding Facial Rejuvenation Surgery
A facelift is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the face and neck by addressing visible signs of aging. As individuals age, facial skin and muscles naturally lose tone and elasticity, and facial fat volume can diminish.
Comprehensive Facelift Techniques
Dr. Lovelace's facelift procedure involves multiple advanced techniques to restore a youthful appearance:
- Tightening deeper facial structures
- Redraping facial and neck skin
- Removing or repositioning excess fat
- Enhancing overall facial contours
Facelift Procedure Details
Facelifts can be performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on individual patient needs. Dr. Lovelace strategically makes incisions around the ears or hairline to minimize visible scarring.
Surgical Approach
During the procedure, Dr. Lovelace will carefully elevate the skin, remove excess tissue, tighten underlying muscles, and reposition facial structures to create a natural, refreshed appearance.
Recovery and Expectations
Most patients can expect the following recovery timeline:
- Return to non-strenuous work within 7-10 days
- Swelling and bruising typically resolve within 2-3 weeks
- Resume full activities around 6-8 weeks post-surgery
- Scars continue to improve for up to 2 years
Potential Risks and Considerations
Like all surgical procedures, facelifts carry potential risks including bleeding, infection, scarring, and temporary numbness. Dr. Lovelace thoroughly discusses these during comprehensive consultations.
Candidacy for Facelift Surgery
Ideal facelift candidates are healthy individuals experiencing facial aging who have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes. A personalized consultation with Dr. Lovelace will determine your specific candidacy.
Patient Preparation
