Understanding Facelift Surgery in Williamsville

Men and women concerned about signs of aging in the lower face and neck can turn back the clock with a facelift at WNY Plastic Surgery. Even as nonsurgical treatments become more popular, facelift surgery remains the gold standard for facial rejuvenation.

Are You a Candidate for Facelift Surgery?

Facelift surgery is an ideal option for individuals who are:

• Physically healthy
• Non-smokers
• Experiencing visible signs of facial aging
• Seeking realistic improvements in facial appearance

Signs of Facial Aging Addressed by Facelift

A facelift can effectively improve:

• Sagging in the midface
• Deep creases below the lower eyelids
• Loss of muscle tone in the lower face
• Loose skin and excess fatty deposits under the chin

Facelift Procedure Overview

The facelift procedure involves strategic surgical techniques to restore a more youthful facial contour. Depending on individual needs, options include:

• Traditional facelift
• Limited incision facelift
• Neck lift

Recovery and Results

Facelift recovery varies by individual, but patients can expect:

• Several months for swelling to dissipate
• Up to 6 months for incision lines to mature
• Gradual revelation of a more youthful appearance

Maintaining Facelift Results

To extend facelift results, patients are encouraged to:

• Use consistent sun protection
• Maintain a healthy lifestyle
• Follow post-operative care instructions

Alternatives to Surgical Facelift

For those seeking less invasive options, a "liquid facelift" using BOTOX and dermal fillers can provide temporary facial rejuvenation. However, results cannot match a surgical facelift's comprehensive outcomes.
