Understanding Facelift Surgery in Pasadena

As time passes, factors like gravity, sun exposure, and daily stress impact facial appearance. Wrinkles develop, skin loses elasticity, and fat deposits accumulate around the neck and jawline. Facelift surgery offers a comprehensive solution to address these age-related changes.

How Facelift Surgery Improves Facial Appearance

Facelift surgery is designed to restore a more youthful facial contour by addressing multiple signs of aging. The procedure involves:

Removing excess facial and neck fat
Lifting drooping facial tissues
Tightening skin and underlying muscle structures
Creating a smoother, more refined facial profile

Customized Surgical Approach

Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery - Min Caroline, MD specializes in personalized facelift techniques. Dr. Min focuses on achieving natural-looking results that enhance the patient's inherent facial characteristics without appearing overly manipulated.

Procedure Considerations

Facelift surgery is highly individualized and tailored to each patient's unique facial structure and aesthetic goals. The procedure can be combined with complementary treatments like eyelid surgery or browlift for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Ideal Candidates for Facelift Surgery

Suitable candidates typically include patients who:

Are in good overall health
Have noticeable facial skin laxity
Do not smoke
Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Surgical Technique

Facelift procedures are performed under general anesthesia, with strategically placed incisions designed to minimize visible scarring. Incisions typically begin at the hairline, extend around the ear, and are carefully concealed in natural facial contours.

Recovery and Results

Most patients require approximately 2-3 weeks for initial recovery. While the procedure provides long-lasting results, it does not halt the natural aging process. Patients can expect continued improvement in facial appearance compared to their pre-surgical condition.
