What is Facelift Surgery?
As a person ages, his or her skin begins to sag and fit more loosely due to sun exposure, stress, gravity, and many other factors. The areas most prone to aging are the face, neck, and jawline. These are natural changes; however, these signs of aging can make individuals feel older than they are and hinder body confidence.
Our facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to tighten the skin of the neck, refine the jawline, and elevate the cheeks—all helping to reduce the redundant neck jowls and neck wattle. This surgical procedure will smooth and firm the skin and give patients a fresh, vibrant, youthful appearance.
How is a Facelift Performed?
A facelift procedure begins with small incisions carefully hidden in the hairline or within existing skin creases. Fat deposits and tissue are separated, and the skin is stretched and tightened. Finally, any excess skin is removed. If fat deposits in that area need attention, the same procedure is repeated with an additional incision under the chin.
The procedure can take several hours or more depending on what is being done and if any other cosmetic procedures are completed simultaneously. Describing the differences between the types of facelifts offered and which is most appropriate for you is an important part of your consultation; this may affect the length and location of the incision and the direction in which the deeper tissues of the face are repositioned.

What Does Facelift Recovery Entail?
Patients are given bandages after their facelift in Orlando & Winter Park to decrease recovery time and reduce swelling. They will need plenty of rest and limit their movement to speed up the healing process. Normally, it will take a week until the stitches can be removed. Any minor pain can be treated effectively with oral medications.
Real Patient Testimonial
Facelift in Orlando
When I met this doctor, he made me feel comfortable; he stressed that the recovery would be unobtrusive and the results natural. Fast forward 1 month after surgery, and I couldn't be happier. My turkey neck is gone, and the incisions are almost imperceptible. I look and feel much younger, but nobody knows that I had a facelift. This surgeon and this practice are fantastic, and they have charm where you feel totally at ease and like you are a part of the family when you walk in. They are awesome!
