Understanding Facelift Surgery in Virginia Beach

At Galardi | Bowen Plastic Surgery, facelift procedures are expertly designed to restore youthful appearance and boost patient confidence. The surgical technique addresses visible signs of aging by lifting and tightening sagging skin, repositioning muscles, and redefining facial contours.

What is a Facelift?

A facelift, medically known as rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that reduces aging signs by targeting key facial areas. The surgery involves:

• Removing excess skin
• Repositioning underlying facial tissues
• Smoothing deep wrinkles
• Enhancing facial definition

Ideal Candidates for Facelift

Candidates typically demonstrate:

• Loose or sagging facial and neck skin
• Deep facial wrinkles
• Loss of jawline definition
• Good overall health
• Realistic expectations

Procedure Details

Facelift surgery at Galardi | Bowen Plastic Surgery is performed under general anesthesia. Surgeons make discreet incisions around the hairline and ears, allowing precise tissue manipulation and skin removal. The procedure typically takes several hours, focusing on natural-looking rejuvenation.

Recovery and Results

Initial recovery spans approximately two weeks, with gradual improvements in facial contours. Patients can expect reduced swelling and enhanced facial definition. Following post-operative instructions carefully ensures optimal healing and results.

Potential Risks and Considerations

While facelift surgery is generally safe, potential risks include temporary bruising, swelling, and rare complications like infection. The experienced surgical team at Galardi | Bowen Plastic Surgery minimizes these risks through meticulous technique and comprehensive patient care.
