Understanding Facelift Surgery: Rhytidectomy Explained

A facelift, medically known as rhytidectomy, is a sophisticated plastic surgery procedure designed to reduce visible signs of aging in the face and neck. This surgical technique involves removing wrinkles and tightening facial skin by strategically repositioning underlying tissues and removing excess skin.

Surgical Technique and Approach

The facelift procedure is meticulously performed with precision and expertise. An incision is carefully made near the hairline, allowing the surgeon to lift and reposition facial skin and underlying muscle structures. Excess tissue is removed, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

Ideal Candidates for Facelift Surgery

• Patients with sagging skin in the face and neck
• Individuals with skin that retains some elasticity
• Patients in good overall health
• Those with stable weight for at least 6 months
• Individuals with strong bone structure
• Patients with realistic aesthetic expectations

Comprehensive Facelift Consultation in Westchester

During the initial consultation, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Douglas Senderoff thoroughly evaluates facial structure, skin texture, and individual medical considerations. The consultation includes a comprehensive review of potential risks, medical history, and personalized surgical recommendations.

Surgical Procedure Details

The facelift procedure typically takes two to four hours and can be performed using mild sedatives, local anesthesia, or general anesthesia. Incisions are strategically placed within natural skin creases to minimize visible scarring, ensuring a natural and refined outcome.

Recovery and Expected Results

Patients can expect gradual healing over several weeks, with initial swelling and bruising subsiding within 4-6 weeks. The procedure can effectively turn back the clock approximately 10 years, though individual results may vary based on personal aging factors.

Combined Facial Rejuvenation Options

Dr. Senderoff offers complementary procedures that can be performed alongside a facelift, including brow lifts, neck lifts, eyelid surgery, and facial fillers. These additional treatments can enhance overall facial rejuvenation results.
