Advanced Facelift in Atlanta, GA | Dr. Lisa DiFrancesco

Understanding the Facelift Procedure

Over time, natural aging reduces the body's ability to generate collagen, causing skin around the neck and jaw to sag. A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce visible signs of aging in the face and neck, providing a refreshed and more youthful appearance.

Facelift Benefits

• Restoring facial definition
• Improving skin laxity for a smoother, firmer appearance
• Enhancing the jawline by reducing jowls
• Diminishing deep creases around the nose and mouth
• Tightening loose skin on the neck

Types of Facelift Techniques

Subcutaneous Facelift

The subcutaneous facelift approach focuses on tightening and lifting the skin without addressing underlying tissues, making it a less invasive option for patients with minimal sagging.

SMAS Facelift

The SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) facelift targets deeper tissues, addressing both skin and muscle layers. This method is ideal for those with more advanced aging concerns.

Candidacy for Facelift

Ideal candidates are generally healthy individuals over 40 seeking to address visible signs of aging, such as sagging skin, jowls, and deep facial lines. Suitable patients are typically non-smokers with stable weight and realistic expectations.

Facelift Procedure and Recovery

Dr. DiFrancesco performs facelift surgery under anesthesia, making precise incisions to reposition facial tissues and remove excess skin. Recovery involves initial swelling and bruising, with most patients returning to light activities within two weeks.
