A facelift (rhytidectomy) is an effective procedure to restore a more youthful appearance to the face and neck. Patients seeking a facelift want to remove loose, sagging skin and desire to improve the contours of the jowls and neck. Facelift surgery does not change the way you look but creates a fresher and more rejuvenated appearance.
Facelift surgery is usually performed at one of several Boston area hospitals and patients typically go home the same day. Sutures are removed at the end of the week and swelling typically lasts two weeks.
The
mini-facelift is an excellent option for patients with an active lifestyle who wish to have a quicker recovery period. The mini-facelift is a one-hour procedure performed in the office under local anesthesia. Recovery typically takes several days to one week. The results are immediate, dramatic, yet natural appearing.
