Advanced Facelift Techniques in Savannah, GA

Understanding Facelift Procedures

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to address facial aging by treating sagging cheeks, jowls, and neck skin. The goal is to restore a more youthful and refreshed appearance through customized surgical techniques.

Personalized Facelift Approaches

RenewalMD understands that each patient's facial structure is unique. Our approach includes multiple potential techniques:

• Short-scar mini-facelift
• Traditional skin-only facelift
• Corset neck lift
• SMAS lift for sagging jowl correction

Surgical Procedure Details

Facelift procedures typically involve general anesthesia and take three to six hours. Strategic incisions are carefully planned along natural skin creases to minimize visible scarring.

Surgical Technique Highlights

• Incisions placed around ear, ear lobe, and scalp
• Small chin incision for comprehensive neck contouring
• Excess fat removal
• Neck muscle tightening
• Skin re-draping for natural results

Recovery and Expectations

Post-surgical recovery involves wearing an elastic garment for three to six weeks to control swelling. Patients are advised to limit social interactions during initial healing to support optimal results.

Recovery Timeline

• Dressing removed day after surgery
• Sutures typically removed within 1-2 weeks
• Social restrictions for 3-6 weeks
