Learn More About Facelift

While a facelift (rhytidectomy) cannot stop aging, it can significantly improve visible signs by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and re-draping skin on your face and neck. This procedure can be done alone or alongside other treatments like forehead lifts or eyelid surgery. Dr. Craig may also perform fat injections and a deep chemical peel (TCA) during the facelift and recommends skin-transforming treatments, such as Obagi® skincare, prior to the procedure.

Ideal candidates for a facelift are individuals unhappy with the aging effects on their mid-to-lower face and neck. Good candidates typically have decent skin elasticity and well-defined bone structure. Non-smokers in good health can also benefit from the procedure. While many patients are between 40-60 years old, facelifts can be safely performed on those in their 70s or 80s. Dr. Craig will evaluate your suitability during your consultation.

A facelift surgery is personalized, with times varying based on individual goals and complexity. Surgery generally lasts between 2-4 hours, and general anesthesia is used for comfort. Facelifts are performed as outpatient procedures.

You can expect immediate improvements post-surgery, with loose, sagging skin eliminated and fine lines smoothed. Most swelling will subside in 2-3 months, leading to a more youthful appearance, while full results may take 6-12 months to manifest.

Recovery times can vary, especially if multiple procedures are performed. The first few days post-op are typically the most challenging in terms of swelling and discomfort, but prescription pain medication can help manage this. Most patients return to work within 5-7 days when most of your stitches have been removed, while those with strenuous jobs may need 2 weeks or more. You can gradually resume normal activities as you start to feel better, but it’s essential to listen to your body during the healing process. Generally, you can expect to be fully recovered in about 2-3 weeks.
