Understanding Facelift Surgery

A facelift is a sophisticated cosmetic surgical procedure designed to restore youthful facial contours by addressing signs of aging in the lower face and neck region. The procedure goes beyond simple skin removal, focusing on comprehensive tissue rejuvenation and structural enhancement.

Key Benefits of Facelift Surgery

• Restore youthful facial contours
• Tighten sagging facial muscles
• Reduce deep facial creases
• Improve neck and jawline definition
• Natural-looking facial rejuvenation

Who is an Ideal Facelift Candidate?

Ideal facelift candidates typically include individuals aged 40-60 experiencing moderate to severe facial aging. Candidates should be in good overall health with realistic expectations and demonstrate noticeable skin laxity in the lower face and neck regions.

Treatment Areas

• Cheeks
• Jawline
• Neck
• Submental region

Facelift Procedure Details

Facelift surgery is performed under light IV sedation, typically lasting 1.5 to 3 hours. The procedure involves carefully elevating underlying facial tissues, tightening musculature, removing excess skin, and potentially including complementary treatments like liposuction or injectable enhancements.

Recovery Expectations

Initial recovery spans 1-2 weeks, with most swelling and bruising subsiding during this period. Patients can typically resume non-strenuous activities after seven to ten days, with full recovery taking several months.

Surgical Approach

Dr. Cytryn utilizes a personalized "less is more" approach, focusing on creating a refreshed, natural appearance. Incisions are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring, often hidden within natural facial contours or posterior hairline.

Longevity of Results

Facelift results generally last 10-15 years. Patients will continue to appear younger than their natural aging trajectory, with results influenced by surgical technique, genetics, and post-operative lifestyle choices.
