Deep Plane Facelift in St. Louis, MO

What is a Facelift?

A facelift is a targeted facial rejuvenation procedure designed for patients with sagging, looseness, and excess fat in the neck, under the chin, or along the jawline. Ideal candidates have good skin elasticity and mild to advanced sagging of the lower face.

Comprehensive Facelift Approach

Dr. Nayak's facelift procedure addresses multiple facial elements, including:

• Neck rejuvenation
• Neck gland restructuring
• Facial muscle revitalization

Facelift Technique: Beyond Skin Tightening

The facelift is not merely about skin tightening, but about restructuring the foundational layers of the lower face and neck. This approach ensures a more natural, long-lasting result by reshaping the underlying muscle and tissue structures.

Ideal Candidates

Typical facelift candidates include:

• Ages 40-70
• Non-smokers
• Good overall health
• BMI of 30 or under

Surgical Procedure

Dr. Nayak performs facelift procedures in his AAAHC-accredited in-office operating suite under intravenous sedation. The procedure involves lifting and releasing underlying muscle layers, then securing them in a more youthful position.

Recovery Expectations

Recovery typically involves:

• Mild bruising and swelling
• Two drainage tubes
• Follow-up appointments at day 5, 7, 10, and 1 month

Facelift Results

Results are durable, often lasting 6-10 years, depending on lifestyle, genetics, and ongoing skin care. Incision lines become increasingly discreet over time, typically fading significantly by 3-4 months post-procedure.
