Facelift in South Florida
The sun makes its mark. Gravity pulls everything down. Stress wears us out. The effects of all these things can show up on your face over time. You may notice sagging skin around the jawline or deep lines in your cheeks or forehead. As a result, your self-confidence can take a hit.
If you experience these issues, a facelift can reverse the clock and give you back the youthful appearance you thought was gone forever. This procedure will smooth out wrinkles, tighten your skin, and create a more youthful look.

About
What Is a Facelift?
A facelift, also called a rhytidectomy, reduces sagging skin and wrinkles. Here, the doctor alters the tissue below the skin, pulls back a flap of skin on both sides of the face, and removes extra skin to create a tighter, youthful appearance.
Per Mayo Clinic, you may benefit from undergoing this procedure if you have:
- Deep folds at the corners of your mouth
- Excess skin at your jawline and neck
- An appearance of sagging cheeks
Note that a facelift doesn't correct and treat wrinkles or sun damage, as it is a cosmetic procedure, not a medical one.

Determining If a Facelift Is Right for You
If you’re considering a facelift, we invite you to book an appointment with us. Our doctor will examine you and review your medical records to determine if you’re a good candidate.
If you smoke, take blood thinners, or suffer from certain health complications, we might not recommend it for you. However, if we think you’re a good fit, we’ll prepare you accordingly.

Generally, on the day of the procedure, we’ll administer local anesthetics that only numb part of your body, or general anesthesia, which puts you to sleep. Then, our doctor will elevate your skin, removing, sculpting, or transferring it, to reposition your face’s contours. When we finish, we will stitch up the incision marks. Depending on the technique your doctor uses and what you’re getting done, this procedure can take three to six hours.
After your facelift, you may experience swelling, bruising, numbness, pain, and even drainage from the incision sites. Those are perfectly normal side effects. Still, they cause discomfort, so to make yourself feel better, take medication as prescribed, apply cold packs to ease the swelling and keep your head elevated.
During the next few weeks, you’ll come in for several appointments during which we will monitor your pain, eventually remove the stitches, and track your progress. The results of a facelift can last for up to 10 years.
