Understanding Facelift Surgery in Long Island

Youthful beauty and wisdom make a powerful pair – a surgical facelift can help patients achieve a refreshed appearance. A facelift by Dr. Meredith Vandegrift can reverse common signs of facial aging like skin laxity, sagging jowls, and lower-face wrinkling. Patients may look eight to 10 years younger while maintaining their natural wisdom and experience.

What Is a Facelift?

A facelift is a surgical procedure designed to address aging in the lower face. During the procedure, a surgeon removes excess skin, tightens supportive facial tissues, and repositions facial fat to revitalize the appearance and restore a more youthful look.

Facelift Procedure Details

• Focuses on jawline, chin, cheeks, and areas around mouth and nose
• Can be combined with brow lift or eyelid lift for comprehensive facial rejuvenation
• Customized approach based on individual patient needs

Surgical Approach

Dr. Vandegrift accomplishes facial rejuvenation by removing excess skin and tightening facial muscles through carefully placed incisions. Patients with less significant aging may be candidates for a mini-facelift, which uses smaller incisions to lift targeted facial areas.

Recovery Expectations

A facelift requires a dedicated recovery period. Most patients will need approximately two weeks off from work. While tenderness is typical, pain management techniques ensure patient comfort throughout the healing process.
