Face Rejuvenation Surgery in Columbia, TN | Dr. K. Dwayne Fulks
Understanding Facelift Surgery
As time passes, gravity, sun exposure, and daily stress impact facial appearance. Facelift procedures counteract these natural aging processes by removing excess fat, tightening skin and muscles, and restoring a more youthful facial contour.
Ideal Candidates for Facelift Surgery
- Experiencing loss of skin elasticity and muscle tone in face and neck
- Developing visible jowls
- Noticing facial and neck wrinkles
- Lacking youthful chin and neck definition
- Appearing tired or aged
Surgical Procedure Overview
Facelift surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Precise incisions are strategically placed within the hairline, around the ear, to minimize visible scarring while allowing comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Surgical Technique
- Incisions made within or along hairline margins
- Subcutaneous layers and neck muscles carefully tightened
- Facial skin repositioned and excess skin removed
- Careful re-draping for natural-looking results
Recovery and Healing Process
Patients can expect initial post-surgical wrapping around the head and neck, typically removed within 24-48 hours. Minimal discomfort is managed with oral medication, and most patients experience socially acceptable healing within 10-20 days.
Complementary Procedures
To enhance overall facial rejuvenation, Dr. Fulks may recommend additional treatments such as:
- Eyelid lift
- Brow lift
- Chemical peel
- Facial dermabrasion
- Laser skin resurfacing
Important Surgical Considerations
Every surgical procedure involves potential risks. While minor complications can occur, major complications are rare. A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Fulks will determine individual suitability and expected outcomes.
