About Facelift Surgery in Metairie

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jules Walters performs comprehensive facial surgical treatments in the New Orleans metropolitan area. Facelift surgery focuses on tightening loose skin and reducing wrinkles to create a more youthful and refined facial appearance.

Facelift Techniques

The facelift technique is customized based on individual patient needs, considering factors such as:

• Skin condition and elasticity
• Degree of skin laxity
• Patient's age and anatomy
• Specific aesthetic goals

Facelift Options

Full Facelift

Ideal for older adults experiencing significant facial aging. This technique involves an incision near the hairline, extending to the temples and base of the ears. The deeper facial muscle layers are carefully stretched and tightened to reduce loose skin and droopy features.

Mid-Facelift

Targets the cheekbone and upper jaw areas, addressing hollow and lax regions. Particularly effective for improving the appearance of the middle to lower face and minimizing jowl prominence.

Lower Facelift

Focuses on the chin, neck, and jowl areas. Can be complemented with nonsurgical treatments like KYBELLA® to enhance neck tightening and definition.

Mini Facelift

Involves a small incision near the ears to lift skin, subtly enhancing the mouth, jawline, and jowl areas. Provides natural-looking, delicate improvements.

Ideal Candidates

Candidates for facelift surgery typically:

• Experience drooping skin and pronounced wrinkles
• Are in good physical health
• Are nonsmokers
• Have realistic aesthetic expectations

Procedure Expectations

Facelift surgeries are performed using local anesthesia, IV sedation, or general anesthesia. Recovery involves temporary bruising and swelling, manageable with prescribed pain medication. Patients can expect a more rejuvenated appearance with reduced skin sagging.

Complementary Procedures

Facelifts can be combined with complementary treatments such as:

• Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)
• Brow lift
• BOTOX® and dermal fillers
