Facelift Upland, CA | Dr. Stewart P. Wang, MD

Understanding Facelift Procedures in Upland

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess or loose sagging skin from the face and neck. Dr. Stewart P. Wang customizes each procedure to achieve the most natural and refined results based on individual patient needs and aesthetic goals.

Ideal Candidates for Facelift Surgery

• Men and women experiencing facial and neck skin sagging
• Patients with well-defined bone structures
• Individuals with some remaining skin elasticity
• Typically performed on patients aged 40-60, but suitable for patients in their 70s and 80s

Facelift Procedure Details

Dr. Wang typically performs facelifts under local or general anesthesia. The procedure involves strategic incisions around the hairline, temples, and ear areas to minimize visible scarring. During the surgery, underlying muscles are tightened, excess fat is removed, and skin is repositioned to create a more youthful appearance.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect initial bruising and swelling that subsides within a few weeks. Most individuals return to normal activities within ten days to two weeks. Dr. Wang provides comprehensive post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.

Complementary Procedures

For comprehensive facial rejuvenation, Dr. Wang may recommend combining a facelift with additional procedures such as eyelid surgery or minimally invasive options like AccuLift™ to achieve more comprehensive aesthetic enhancement.
