Facelift in Troy, MI | John M. Trupiano MD FACS

What is a Facelift?

A facelift, medically known as rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to tighten facial skin and lift underlying tissues to a more youthful position. This transformative procedure effectively addresses signs of aging in the face and neck by reducing sagging and repositioning facial tissues.

Is a Facelift Right for You?

Ideal candidates for a facelift typically experience:

• Drooping in the center of the face
• Deep folds and wrinkles below lower eyelids
• Pronounced lines alongside the nose and mouth
• Sagging facial fat and loss of skin tone
• Jowl formation and reduced jaw definition

Facelift Procedure Details

Dr. Trupiano performs facelifts using general anesthesia or sedation. The procedure involves strategic incisions near the temples, allowing careful repositioning of muscles, fat, and skin. Supplementary procedures like neck or brow lifts can be performed simultaneously.

Recovery and Results

Patients should anticipate:

• 1-2 weeks away from work and regular activities
• Potential 2-3 weeks before feeling comfortable in public
• Gradual reduction of swelling over several months
• Final results typically emerging within six months

Complementary Procedures

Facelifts can be effectively combined with other facial procedures such as brow lifts, neck lifts, and eyelid surgeries to comprehensively rejuvenate your appearance.
