Facial Surgery FAQ

Ideal candidates for a face lift are individuals who are in good overall health, do not smoke, and have realistic expectations about the results. Typically, candidates are experiencing sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and loss of muscle tone in the face and neck.

A face lift surgery usually takes between 2 to 4 hours, depending on the complexity of the case and the extent of the work being done. Additional procedures, such as eyelid surgery or brow lift, may extend the duration.

Recovery time varies from person to person, but most patients can return to normal activities within 2 to 3 weeks. Swelling and bruising are common and typically subside within a few weeks. Full recovery, including the final results, may take a few months.

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved, including infection, bleeding, scarring, and adverse reactions to anesthesia. Our experienced surgeons take every precaution to minimize these risks and ensure a safe procedure.

The results of a face lift can last for many years, but it does not stop the natural aging process. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including good skincare and sun protection, can help prolong the results.

Our surgeons make incisions in discreet locations, such as along the hairline and behind the ears, to minimize visible scarring. With proper care, scars will fade significantly over time.

Most patients can start wearing makeup to conceal any bruising or redness about 1 to 2 weeks after surgery, once the incisions have healed sufficiently.

The cost of a face lift varies depending on the extent of the procedure and individual patient needs. During your consultation, we will provide a detailed estimate tailored to your specific treatment plan.

Preparation involves stopping smoking, avoiding certain medications that can increase bleeding, and following specific instructions provided by your surgeon. Pre-operative tests and evaluations may also be required.
