Advanced Facelift in Lake Oswego, OR | Dr. Mark A. Petroff, MD

Understanding Facelift Surgery

Technically known as a rhytidectomy, a facelift rejuvenates the mid-to-lower face and neck by addressing multiple signs of aging. Dr. Petroff's specialized technique corrects mid-face sagging, deep facial creases, jowls, and loose skin with precision and expertise.

Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation Approach

Dr. Petroff often combines facelift procedures with complementary treatments like brow lift and neck lift to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation. This holistic approach ensures patients receive a balanced, natural-looking transformation from top to bottom.

Facelift Candidacy

Ideal candidates for facelift surgery typically include individuals who:

• Have visible signs of aging like lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin
• Maintain realistic aesthetic expectations
• Seek a long-term, natural-looking solution
• Are in good overall health

Surgical Procedure Details

Dr. Petroff specializes in the deep plane facelift technique, widely recognized for delivering the most natural and long-lasting results. The procedure involves precise muscle repositioning, fat sculpting, and skin redraping, typically completed in approximately 3 hours.

Surgical Technique Highlights

• Performed under local anesthesia with IV sedation
• Strategic incisions along natural hairline boundaries
• Muscle and skin repositioning for optimal results
• Potential for results lasting 10+ years

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect initial swelling and bruising for up to 2 weeks, with most normal activities resuming after 2-3 weeks. While facelifts offer significant rejuvenation, natural aging continues, making skincare and healthy lifestyle crucial for maintaining results.

Facelift Longevity

A facelift at Petroff Center can provide remarkable results lasting 10-15 years. Factors like skin type, lifestyle, and personal skincare routines significantly influence the procedure's long-term effectiveness.
