Understanding Facial Aging and Facelift Solutions

Over time, gravity, sun exposure, and natural aging processes impact facial appearance. Common signs include flattened cheeks, sagging jawline, visible mouth creases, and wrinkled neck skin. A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to improve visible signs of aging in the face and neck.

Why Choose a Facelift in Baton Rouge?

Despite numerous alternative treatments, facelift surgery remains the preferred option for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Baton Rouge Plastic Surgeon Dr. Theunissen specializes in delivering natural, transformative facial plastic surgery results.

After being diagnosed with breast cancer, I believed I was making empowered decisions about my reconstruction. The Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act (WHCRA) gives women the legal right to breast reconstruction following a mastectomy, and at the time, it felt like I had "options." But what I’ve come to realize is that these so-called options can be a carefully constructed illusion—one that some plastic surgeons use to prey on women when they are at their most vulnerable. I trusted Dr. Cusimano and Dr. Theunissen to help restore my body and my sense of self. I underwent a DIEP flap reconstruction, which failed. This led to an abscess in my left breast and significant damage to my abdomen that required hernia repair and reattachment of a damaged muscle. When the DIEP failed, I was recommended the latissimus dorsi flap, which has left me with chronic pain and permanent loss of range of motion. These surgeries have not improved my life—they’ve altered it in ways I never could have imagined. The physical and emotional cost has been enormous. What was offered to me as help and healing turned into years of additional suffering. I’m sharing my experience because I want other women to be fully informed. Just because something is legally available doesn’t mean it is the right choice for you—or that the people offering it have your best interests at heart. Ask every question, get independent opinions, and don’t let anyone pressure you into surgery just because you’re scared or searching for a way to feel whole again. Your vulnerability should never be a business opportunity.

Thank you Dr. Theunissen! After I had my children, my stomach had loose skin. No matter how much I worked out, nothing helped. I came to Dr. Theunissen Aesthetic Plastic Surgery of Baton Rouge for my tummy tuck and couldn't be happier with what a great job he did! He exceeded my expectations! During my first consultation, Dr. Theunissen was very down-to-earth, and I knew this was the office where I wanted to get my surgery. He answered all my questions and concerns. Brandy and the nurses were so friendly, and the office atmosphere was so calm. I plan to go back for my breast augmentation later this year because I'm so happy with my tummy tuck results!!!

Dr Theunissen did a beautiful job on my tummy tuck. The results are excellent! Before my surgery, I had sooooo many questions. Dr. Theunssen was so kind and patient with me in my consultation. I never felt uncomfortable or rushed at all. He answered all my questions and concerns and addressed my expectations so I knew exactly what to expect. They gave me all the information I needed to make a confident decision for my tummy tuck. I would highly recommend him if you're considering plastic surgery in Baton Rouge. I was referred to him by a friend from New Orleans, and I love my results! I would give him 10 stars if I could!

Dr. Theunissen is one of the best plastic surgeons around. I’ve had multiple procedures done by him, and still go for laser treatments done by his staff. Everyone there is amazing and very knowledgeable. Dr. Theunissen has remarkable bedside manner, and you will feel like you’re having a conversation with a friend. I’ve known quite a few people to get procedures done by him, and I’ve never heard one complaint.
