SHOULD I GET A FACELIFT IN JUPITER?

A precision facelift has longevity and very natural-looking results that far outstrip other facial rejuvenation treatments.

WHAT IS A FACELIFT?

A facelift is a surgical procedure that involves discreet incisions which allow the surgeon to access the underlying muscles and tissues of the face. As time passes, facial muscles, skin and tissues lose their firm, supple quality, stretching and drifting downwards, leaving you with etched-in wrinkles and creases, jowls, a sagging jawline, and an aging appearance. The facial muscles are the scaffolding that support the skin, and as they loosen, the face begins to sag. Cheeks droop, jowls appear, and the jawline loses is youthful definition. When gravity seems to have the winning hand, a facelift is the best option to restore youthful vitality to your appearance. By lifting the facial muscle structure to its former youthful position, beautiful and natural looking results can be achieved – far superior to the tight, stretched look of older surgical techniques.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MINI FACELIFT AND A FULL FACELIFT?

A mini facelift only lifts the lower third of the face and typically takes about two hours to perform. This procedure restores definition to the jawline and lifts the lower portion of your cheeks. A full facelift is more comprehensive and lifts the entire face. Your facelift will be customized to your cosmetic goals so that it addresses all of the signs of aging that trouble you.

HOW LONG IS THE RECOVERY, AND WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?

The first 30 days after a facelift are the most crucial in your recovery and you should anticipate taking the first two weeks off from work or other activities following your procedure. You will need to rest with your head elevated and keep facial motions to a minimum to avoid placing strain on the incisions and sutures. Arrange for help during the first two to three days after surgery. You will simply want to rest and will need the help. You should ensure that you will have a restful and stress-free two weeks so your healing and recovery is as smooth as possible. Expect your incisions to have fully healed after six weeks. At this point you will be able to resume strenuous exercise and activities.

WHEN WILL I SEE THE RESULTS?

You can expect to see results continuing to develop over the next six months as swelling completely fades and your face settles into its new, beautifully rejuvenated form.
