Face Lift

As part of the natural aging process, the skin and muscles of the lower face and neck lose elasticity, resulting in jowls and a poor neck contour. New procedures -- such as our Refresher face lift -- can rival a modern and sophisticated face lift in returning freshness and youthfulness to an aging or tired-looking face. These procedures are usually performed on an outpatient basis under intravenous (local) or general anesthesia.

face lift description

Our state-of-the-art face lifts are performed by removing the excess skin and tightening the underlying neck and facial muscles. In addition, the volume restoration provided by the incorporation of a cheek lift or fat Injection provides remarkably natural results.

After the surgery, some swelling and bruising can be expected and normally subsides within a couple of weeks. Most sutures are removed between five and ten days, while residual bruising can be covered by makeup. The discomfort after the surgery is usually well-managed by medications prescribed by Dr. Drehsen and rarely lasts longer than 3 to 4 days. The recent addition of an intra operative platelet gel application improves recovery.
