Advanced Facelift in Gainesville, FL | Dr. Gregory Gaines

Understanding Facelift Surgery

A facelift is a sophisticated facial plastic surgery procedure designed to address the visible signs of aging. At Gaines Plastic Surgery, this treatment is customized to restore a patient's youthful appearance by addressing skin laxity, muscle tone, and facial contours.

Why Choose a Facelift?

Multiple factors contribute to facial aging, including sun exposure, stress, and gravitational changes. A facelift, medically known as rhytidectomy, offers a comprehensive solution to reverse these aging signs by:

• Tightening facial muscles
• Removing excess fat
• Eliminating sagging facial tissue

The Dual Plane Facelift Technique

Dr. Gaines utilizes an advanced dual-plane facelift technique that provides more natural, long-lasting results. This method involves simultaneously addressing two skin layers: the outermost surface and the deeper SMAS muscle layer.

Ideal Candidates for Facelift

Successful facelift candidates typically demonstrate:

• Good overall physical health
• Elastic, flexible skin
• Realistic aesthetic expectations
• Stable underlying bone structure

Procedure Details

The facelift procedure involves strategic incisions along the hairline, allowing Dr. Gaines to access and manipulate deeper facial structures. Each surgical plan is meticulously customized to match individual anatomical characteristics.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect initial bruising and swelling for 1-2 weeks post-surgery. Full results typically manifest around six months after the procedure, with potential longevity of up to 15 years with proper skincare and sun protection.

Safety and Expertise

As a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Gaines ensures minimal invasiveness and risk reduction through advanced surgical techniques and comprehensive patient evaluation.
