Facelift Baton Rouge, LA | Dr. Pamela Brownlee

Understanding Facelift Surgery

A facelift is a sophisticated plastic surgery procedure designed to reduce visible signs of aging in the lower two-thirds of the face. This advanced technique addresses specific concerns that develop with natural aging, helping patients look refreshed and naturally younger.

Key Areas of Facelift Intervention

• Deep wrinkles in the cheek region
• Sagging skin near cheekbones
• Loss of definition along the jawline

Facelift Procedure Overview

Dr. Pamela Brownlee performs facelift procedures as an outpatient surgery, utilizing local anesthesia with oral sedation. The surgical approach focuses on repositioning lax tissue and muscle while removing excess skin to create a more youthful facial contour.

Surgical Technique

The procedure involves precise incisions in natural facial creases, allowing minimal visible scarring. Surgeons carefully reposition underlying tissues, reduce fatty deposits, and re-drape skin to achieve a natural, rejuvenated appearance.

Recovery and Expectations

Most patients can expect initial recovery within 5-7 days, with full healing occurring over several weeks. Temporary sensations like mild facial tightness and numbness are normal parts of the healing process.

Recovery Guidelines

• Keep head elevated during initial healing
• Follow prescribed post-operative care instructions
• Avoid strenuous activities for recommended period

Candidate Considerations

Ideal facelift candidates are typically healthy individuals in their 40s and older experiencing visible signs of facial aging. A comprehensive consultation helps determine the most appropriate approach for individual aesthetic goals.

Alternative Options

For patients with minimal skin laxity, non-surgical alternatives like liquid facelifts using dermal fillers might provide suitable rejuvenation.
