Understanding Facial Aging and Facelift Solutions

As individuals age, facial skin and tissue lose elasticity. Gravitational effects contribute to an aged appearance, characterized by hollowing cheeks, fallen soft tissue, pronounced nasolabial folds, jawline jowling, and neck sagging.

Facelift Surgery Overview

• Tightens and lifts facial and neck skin
• Performed under general anesthesia in a fully accredited surgical center
• Same-day surgical procedure
• Can be combined with additional facial rejuvenation techniques

Surgical Procedure Details

Facelift surgery typically lasts approximately 2.5 hours. During the procedure, facial and neck skin along with deep tissue are strategically tightened, reshaping the face into a more youthful, lifted position. Patients are carefully monitored in the recovery room before being discharged.

Personalized Consultation and Incision Selection

The initial consultation is crucial for understanding patient goals and determining the most appropriate surgical approach. Incision selection depends on individual facial characteristics and the degree of tissue sagging. Dr. Pham carefully evaluates each patient's unique facial structure to recommend the most effective technique.

Post-Surgical Care and Recovery

After facelift surgery, patients require transportation home from the surgical center. Prescribed pain medication ensures comfort during initial recovery, while antibiotics minimize infection risks. Patients are advised to avoid heavy lifting and straining during the healing process. A supportive garment helps maintain surgical results and provides additional comfort.

Recovery Recommendations

• Arrange transportation from surgical center
• Take prescribed pain medication as directed
• Follow antibiotic regimen
• Use provided support garment
• Avoid strenuous activities during healing
