Understanding Facial Aging and Rejuvenation

As individuals age, factors like gravity, sun exposure, and daily stress manifest visibly on the face. Deep creases develop, the jawline becomes less defined, and fat deposits accumulate around the neck, creating a aged appearance.

Facelift Procedure Overview

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to address visible signs of aging. The technique involves:

• Removing excess facial fat
• Tightening underlying facial muscles
• Repositioning skin for a more youthful contour

Ideal Candidates for Facelift Surgery

The most suitable candidates for a facelift typically include individuals who:

• Have moderate facial skin sagging
• Maintain good skin elasticity
• Possess a strong, well-defined bone structure
• Are generally between 40-70 years old

Surgical Technique

Dr. Concannon's facelift procedure involves precise surgical techniques, including:

• Strategic incision placement around hairline and ears
• Separation of skin from underlying muscle and fat
• Targeted fat removal and muscle tightening
• Careful skin repositioning

Recovery and Expected Results

Patients can expect a comprehensive recovery process, typically involving:

• Initial recovery period of 1-2 weeks
• Gradual return to normal activities
• Potential temporary facial numbness
• Subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation
