Facelift in Wilmington, NY | Riger Sica, DO

Understanding Facelift Surgery

Facelift remains a sophisticated plastic surgical procedure designed to restore a youthful appearance by addressing multiple signs of aging. The primary goal is not just lifting and tightening loose skin, but strategically elevating underlying muscle and soft tissue to a more rejuvenated position.

Facial Aging Factors

Aging changes can be influenced by multiple factors including:

• Sun exposure
• Stress levels
• Hereditary predispositions

Ideal Facelift Candidates

Most facelift patients range from their forties to sixties, though successful procedures have been performed on patients in their seventies and eighties. Key considerations include bone structure and skin elasticity.

Comprehensive Facelift Approach

A facelift procedure strategically addresses multiple facial aging signs by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and carefully re-draping facial and neck skin. Alternative procedures like S-lift and necklift may also be considered depending on individual needs.

Complementary Procedures

Facelifts can be combined with additional rejuvenation techniques such as:

• Eyelid lift
• Brow lift
• Neck liposuction
• Chin augmentation
• Laser skin resurfacing

Surgical Considerations

Each facelift procedure is meticulously personalized. The surgical approach considers facial structure nuances, skin quality, and individual aesthetic goals. Incisions are carefully placed to ensure minimal visibility, typically concealed within the hairline or natural facial creases.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can typically return to work within seven days and begin light exercise after two weeks. Temporary bruising, swelling, and tenderness are common and expected post-surgical experiences.
