Face Lift Surgery (Rhytidectomy) in Clearwater

What is Face Lift Surgery?

Face lift surgery, also known as rhytidectomy, is a facial rejuvenation procedure that restores a more youthful appearance. It reduces sagging skin on the cheeks and jawline, correcting facial changes that occur with aging. The procedure involves pulling back skin flaps on both sides of the face, altering underlying tissues, and removing excess skin to create more youthful contours.

Ideal Candidates for Face Lift Surgery

• Individuals in good overall health without major medical conditions
• Those with realistic expectations about the procedure's outcomes
• People experiencing loss of facial fat, sagging cheeks, jowls, or hanging skin on the face and neck
• Individuals who can easily pull back facial skin for a more youthful look

Benefits of Face Lift Surgery

• Tightens aging skin
• Repositions facial fat for improved contours
• Improves jawline definition
• Reduces wrinkles and skin folds

Types of Face Lifts

Full Face Lift

Includes traditional deep plane face lifts and SMAS face lifts, addressing jowls and deep smile lines through extensive tissue manipulation.

Mid Face Lift

Targets the middle section of the face, often performed in combination with a traditional face lift to address areas under the eyes and around the nose.

Mini Face Lift

Suitable for patients with minor concerns about cheeks and jowls, involving a shorter scar and often combined with facial fat grafting and liposuction.

Nonsurgical Face Lift

Utilizes lasers or injections like Botox, Juvederm, Restylane, or Sculptra for those seeking non-invasive alternatives.

Recovery Process

Recovery from a face lift typically involves mild to moderate pain, drainage, swelling, and bruising. Patients should follow post-operative instructions carefully, avoid strenuous activity, and protect incisions from sun exposure. Full recovery may take several months, with follow-up appointments scheduled to monitor progress.
