Understanding Facelift Surgery in Los Angeles

Youth has always been synonymous with beauty. In the 21st century, advanced plastic surgery techniques make it possible to maintain a youthful, fresh look for many years longer than ever before. A facelift in Los Angeles can help patients regain a vibrant, rejuvenated appearance.

What is a Facelift Procedure?

A facelift, technically known as rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to lift and tighten sagging facial tissues. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, it ranks among the top 5 cosmetic surgeries in the U.S., with 131,106 procedures performed in 2016.

Areas Addressed by Facelift Surgery

Facelift surgery typically addresses the lower two-thirds of the face and is commonly performed in combination with complementary procedures like eyelid surgery or brow lift.

Common Facelift Correction Areas

• Deep wrinkles and creases on face and neck
• Loss of muscle tone and skin elasticity
• Jowls and sagging cheeks
• Deep creases around nose and mouth
• Poorly defined chin and jawline

Facelift Surgical Techniques

The procedure is typically performed under general anesthetic. Incisions are strategically placed along the hairline and in natural skin creases near the ears. Through these carefully positioned incisions, our skilled surgeon can reposition deep facial tissues and remove excess skin.

Dr. Kahng has distinguished expertise in Asian facelift surgery, leveraging his comprehensive understanding of Asian facial structures to create balanced, natural-looking results.

Types of Facelift Procedures

Mini-Facelift

A less invasive technique ideal for patients with mild jowling and early signs of aging. Shorter incisions allow for subtle refinement of the lower face and jawline.

Deep-Plane Facelift

A advanced technique targeting deeper facial layers, including muscles and supporting tissues. This approach provides more comprehensive rejuvenation with natural-looking results.

Recovery Considerations

Recovery typically spans several weeks, with patients experiencing temporary swelling and bruising. Following Dr. Kahng's post-operative instructions is crucial for optimal healing.

Recovery Guidelines

• Rest during initial recovery period
• Avoid strenuous activities
• Wear recommended compression garments
• Attend scheduled follow-up appointments
