Advanced Face Lift in La Jolla, CA | Umansky Plastic Surgery

Understanding Facelift Procedures

Umansky Plastic Surgery offers comprehensive facelift procedures addressing visible signs of aging in the face and neck. The surgical approach is carefully customized to complement each patient's unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.

What is a Facelift?

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to improve visible aging signs by addressing multiple facial concerns:

• Sagging in the lower facial regions
• Deep facial creases
• Loss of facial volume
• Reduced skin tone creating jowls
• Loose neck skin and fatty deposits

Facelift Procedure Details

Umansky Plastic Surgery's facelift techniques focus on repositioning deeper facial tissues, potentially adding or removing fat to restore a more youthful contour. Each procedure involves carefully designed incisions strategically placed to minimize visible scarring.

Surgical Approach

The facelift procedure typically involves several key steps:

• Strategic incision placement
• Skin undermining and tissue repositioning
• Muscle tightening
• Excess skin removal
• Precise closure techniques

Recovery and Healing

Recovery varies by patient but generally follows a predictable timeline. Patients can expect initial healing within 10-14 days, with continued improvement over several months. Complete healing typically occurs around six months post-procedure.

Potential Risks and Considerations

While facelift complications are infrequent, potential risks include:

• Hematoma or seroma
• Infection
• Sensory changes
• Scarring

Complementary Procedures

Facelift procedures can be combined with complementary treatments such as:

• Brow lift
• Eyelid surgery
• Rhinoplasty
• Laser skin resurfacing

Results and Longevity

Facelift results typically last 7-10 years, influenced by factors like genetics, skin quality, and personal maintenance. Patients are advised to protect their investment through proper skincare, sun protection, and healthy lifestyle choices.
