What is a Facelift?

If you are unhappy with the appearance of your face, a facelift could be the ideal treatment for you. This will reduce sagging or flabby skin so that your appearance is younger and more radiant.

At Pure Plastic Surgery, we have carried out many facelifts over the years. Read on to discover more about this treatment and how it can benefit you.

Facelift Overview

Also known as rhytidectomy, a facelift is a type of cosmetic surgery that lifts up and pulls your skin back so that your face appears smoother and tighter. This will reduce any sagging or flabby skin that you have around the lower part of your face and neck.

Preparation for Facelift

It is imperative to have a consultation, which you will always have with any sort of treatment at Pure Plastic Surgery. Your surgeon will advise what you should and should not do in preparation of your facelift. For example, two to three weeks prior to the treatment, any blood-thinning medication needs to be stopped, such as aspirin.

The Facelift Procedure

A facelift is a procedure that will involve the skin being elevated and the underlying muscles and tissues being tightened. The fat in the neck and face may be removed, sculpted, or redistributed, depending on your face and your aims from the treatment.

The skin is then going to be draped over the newly positioned contours of your face, and excess skin will be taken away. The wound will then be stitched and taped shut.

Facelift Aftercare and Recovery

Your surgeon will provide you with aftercare advice. You should avoid lifting heavy things or bending for a week after. You also need to sleep with your head elevated for between one and two weeks. Keeping ice on your neck and face after the treatment is also recommended.

THE ANSWER IS PURE

There’s a time in your life where you need a boost, a fresh start, and a way to take control of things. We all have features about ourselves we want to change on the outside and it can affect us on the inside.

Pure’s goal is to give people a chance to make smart choices that lead to the results that will empower and inspire them to reach their dreams. Pure is led by Dr. S. Alexander Earle, who performs a wide range of procedures with an incredibly high rate of customer satisfaction.
