FACELIFT (Rhytidectomy)

You may consider a facelift…

• If you have experienced a loss of skin elasticity and muscle tone of your face and neck

• If you have the appearance of jowls and deep creases between the base of your nose and the corners of your mouth

• If you have developed facial wrinkles or you think that you have a tired facial appearance

• If you believe you lack a youthful contour to your chin and neck

A facelift would result in a more rested and youthful contour to your face and neck.

Your Surgery

Today’s facelift is more effective and natural looking than ever before. That’s why this year, more than 100,000 Americans will have facelifts.  Many of them will end up looking as much as five to ten years younger. You can look naturally younger, refreshed, rested and healthy. With today’s new surgical techniques and advancements, facelifts now last longer than ever before. Dr. Bennett will tighten up not only the skin but the underlying tissue as well. The procedure is done on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia with intravenous sedation. You will go home with dressings around your head and neck which are usually removed in our office two to three days following surgery. Minimal initial discomfort is easily controlled with oral medication. Sutures are removed within 14 days.  Any bruising and swelling that you will experience generally decreases to “socially acceptable” levels within 10-20 days. The final result is evident in 4-6 weeks or sooner with continued improvement for several months.

The goal of a facelift is not to give you a different look, but rather help you look as you used to—it's like turning back the clock! By tightening both the skin and the underlying tissue and adding the fat that has been lost due to the aging process, it can lessen and eliminate wrinkles, creases and lines, and restore the younger, natural contours of your face.

The “Skin Resurfacing Treatments” offered by our Skin Care Therapists in our office will beautify your results and keep your skin looking younger and refreshed as well.

Additional procedures that may enhance your results include Eyelid Lift, Forehead/Brow Lift, dermal fillers or Autologous Fat Transfer to the Forehead, Cheeks, Lips, and the Peri-oral area, BOTOX® Cosmetic, FOTO facials (photorejuvenation), Chemical Peels or Laser Skin Resurfacing.

Your Consultation

We invite you to schedule a private consultation with Dr. Bennett or one of our nurse coordinators. During the consultation all aspects of your proposed surgery will be discussed including preparation, relative risks, recovery, range of fees, and financing options. We gladly schedule from one to two hours for your consultation. We encourage you to ask questions and express your needs and concerns in a relaxed and unhurried atmosphere.
