Understanding Face Lifts
When you're considering whether or not a Michigan face lift is right for you, it's important to understand what they can and cannot do. For men and women from their 40s through their 70s, face lifts can help you look ten years younger by improving the signs of aging such as:
- Loose skin of the face, jaw line and neck
- Deep creases around the mouth or chin
- Loss of muscle tone in the lower face that creates jowls
All face lifts involve incisions around your ear or just inside your hairline, enabling Dr. Vasileff to tighten the underlying tissue and remove excess skin. He makes the incisions in a discreet area so that any scarring is concealed.
Face lifts cannot and should not change your appearance, and they don't stop the aging process. But, they can turn back the clock ten years or more and enhance your natural beauty.
Preparing for a Face Lift
Most patients should plan for a one-and-a-half to two-week recovery. Therefore, it's best to schedule your surgery when it's convenient for you to be away from work or to clear your schedule. The most important part of recovery is giving your body ample time to heal.
Prior to surgery, make sure you have everything you need at home from groceries to medicine so you can avoid having to run errands when you should be resting. You should also arrange for a friend or family member to drive you to and from surgery and stay with you for the first 24 hours.
Recovering from Surgery
For men and women choosing a face lift, Michigan plastic surgeon Dr. Vasileff performs this procedure on an outpatient basis, so you will be able to return home the day of your procedure. You will have bandages around your face to minimize swelling and bruising. Most patients experience very little discomfort, which is easily managed with over-the-counter pain medicine. Soon after your surgery, you will have a follow-up appointment at the office to remove your bandages and check on your healing. This is followed a week later by a second appointment to remove the stitches. As with any surgery, it is important to ease back into your routine as your body continues to heal.
Enjoying Your Results
Now's the time to start enjoying your new, energized look! Dr. Vasileff's expertise will help you achieve a "you, only better" result. Lifelong sun protection and a healthy lifestyle will help extend the results of your more youthful look.
