What is facial rejuvenation surgery?

Facial rejuvenation is also called a facelift.  There are different versions of this: an upper face lift, mid face lift and even a neck lift.  The facelift is the gold standard of facial rejuvenation surgeries – all other procedures are measured against this one. 

 This procedure lifts and trims deep muscles within the face then skin is draped, sutured or stapled into place.  On average patients who had a face lift procedure were judged to be 9 – 10 years younger!  

Who is a candidate for facial rejuvenation surgery?

Patients who benefit the most from facial rejuvenation are those that have wrinkles, loose skin, lower face jowling and/or skin that is lax on the neck.  Maybe you’ve been using filler or Botox for a while but the results of those injectables are not enough.  We see men & women get facial rejuvenation with great results.  Also, the younger a patient is who receives a facelift the longer the results will last.  

What should you know about Facial Rejuvenation?

Here are some pearls getting a face lift: 

• Recovery timeline is 7 weeks or so.  Two weeks post surgery you can likely resume social activities, although you might want to limit it to those closest to you at first.  We recommend a face lift at least 3 months prior to any large event.  
• Cone & Langevin are meticulous & highly skilled surgeons, but no physician can stop gravity.  Know that there are times when a second facelift is indicated, to address newly sagging skin or muscles.  
• Facelifts are fixing and addressing sagging muscles deep within the face.  The texture of the skin isn’t changed during this procedure.  We often see patients getting chemical peels either during surgery or at a different time to address skin texture.  (MiraBelle Medspa has chemical peels developed by our surgeons and not available anywhere else!)
