A Traditional Facelift The Step-by-Step Process

A facelift can be either an inpatient or outpatient procedure. We can perform it at our surgical center or at one of our affiliated hospitals in the San Antonio area. The procedure involves several steps:
A facelift with Dr. Barone typically takes about two hours to complete.
A facelift with Dr. Barone typically takes about two hours to complete.

Anesthesia

Dr. Barone can perform your facelift using either general anesthesia, which will put you into a deep sleep, or with local anesthesia and a sedative. Sometimes called an "awake" facelift, a facelift using local anesthesia can allow for a much quicker post-operative recovery and help you to return to daily tasks faster.

Incisions

Your plastic surgeon will make incisions. One popular technique is to make incisions in the hairline and around the ears so any scarring can be easily hidden.

Facelift

Once the incisions are made, Dr. Barone will remove excess skin and fat. She will tighten the remaining skin in a manner that creates a healthier, more youthful appearance. Your plastic surgeon will take special care to ensure your results are natural-looking. 

Sutures

Your incisions will be sutured closed. Most patients can return home on the same day as their surgery.

What to Expect as You Recover From Facelift Surgery

In the days after your facelift procedure, you can expect some bruising and swelling, which will fade as your face heals. We recommend following these aftercare tips to make your recovery as easy as possible:

  • Keep your head elevated for the first few days of recovery.
  • Control pain and discomfort with medication.
  • Avoid performing normal daily activities for about 10 days.
  • Avoid performing strenuous activities for about two weeks.

The final results of your rejuvenation will be apparent after the first few weeks following surgery. It's important to keep in mind that while your scars will be made in discreet locations, it will take some time for them to fade. In the meantime, we recommend wearing a longer hairstyle to keep them covered.

Understanding the QuickLift A Minimally-Invasive Facelift Technique

Do you want a facelift, but you're put off by the idea of a long recovery time and an invasive procedure? The QuickLift® is a revolutionary technique that can cut recovery times while still effectively shaving off 10 years or more from your appearance. This method lifts and tightens loose skin in the lower region of the face using just local anesthesia and a few small incisions around the ears.

QuickLift candidates are typically between 40 and 65+ years of age with moderate to extensive sagging skin in the lower portion of their face, such as the lower cheeks, jawline, and under the chin.

Results, time of surgery, and downtime after surgery vary from patient to patient.

The Perfect Solution for Many San Antonio Patients

QuickLift is a revolutionary mini facelift for women who have jowls or sagging skin along the neck and jaw. This procedure is more conservative than a full facelift but still produces dramatic results.

The Stunning Results Of the QuickLift Technique

Not a Candidate for Facelift Surgery? We Offer injectables

If you're not able to undergo surgery or you're too young for a facelift procedure, you can benefit from another service we offer: injectables.

Dr. Barone can administer BOTOX® Cosmetic, an injection that reduces fine lines and wrinkles along the forehead and around the eyelids by relaxing the underlying facial muscles.

We can also administer dermal fillers, an injectable treatment that plumps hollowed areas of the face, lending to a more youthful appearance.

These injectable treatments can also be a good way for you to determine if you want to commit to a facelift. By seeing the temporary results these injectables can provide, you may want to make them more permanent with a surgical procedure.
