Should I Consider a Facelift?

As we age, our faces begin to change in many ways. Skin begins to sag and develop lines and wrinkles. Certain factors like sun exposure and  repeated facial expressions exacerbate these changes. Facelift surgery is an innovative treatment that involves a redraping and tightening of the facial skin to create a more youthful, smooth appearance.

If you feel that your face has begun to show signs of aging, you may be a candidate for facelift surgery. During a personalized consultation with Dr. Barone, you can further understand the facelift procedure and whether this or other treatments are best for you.

Some younger patients can address less intense signs of aging with less intensive treatments and even nonsurgical procedures. In addition to full facelift treatment, Dr. Barone offers QuickLift™, or mini facelift, as well as several injectables and dermal fillers like JUVÉDERM®.

Facelift Benefits

Facelifts offer women and men the chance to achieve a younger, more refreshed appearance. Additional benefits of facelift surgery include:

• Reversal of some effects of sun damage
• Reduced jowls
• A more defined neck and jaw line
• Reduced wrinkles and lines across the face
• Improved self-confidence

Facelift surgery is often performed in conjunction with other facial surgery such as rhinoplasty or eyelid surgery. By combining these treatments, the enhancement can be even more dramatic.

With proper skin care, the results of your facelift will look beautiful for many years. Patients will need to wear sunscreen, refrain from smoking, and keep their skin moisturized to help keep skin looking young and fresh.

When performed correctly by a skilled surgeon like Dr. Barone, a facelift will look very natural and not "overdone." Strangers should be unable to tell that you have had a facelift, instead noticing only your refreshed, rejuvenated appearance.

Facelift Risks

As with any plastic surgery, there are risks involved in a facelift, and it is important to understand them before deciding to undergo this treatment. Possible risks include:

• Nerve damage or facial numbing
• Excessive blood loss during surgery
• Overly dramatic results that give patients a surprised or windswept look
• Unfavorable scarring
• Facial pain and sensitivity

The risks involved in facelift are greatly reduced when a patient chooses a skilled surgeon with technical precision and artistic skill to perform his or her surgery. Dr. Barone has proven experience that has provided many patients with satisfying results.
