Is a facelift right for me?

Are you experiencing signs of facial aging, such as sagging skin, displaced fat pockets, fine lines, deep creases, and the appearance of "double chin" or "jowls"? This procedure is well-suited for those seeking to restore a naturally youthful facial appearance, maintain self-confidence, and improve their overall quality of life. Whether you're in your late 30s addressing early signs of aging or in your 50s dealing with more significant aging, a facelift may be the right choice if you're in good health to undergo elective surgery. The best way to determine the most suitable approach tailored to your needs would be to schedule a consultation with Muse Plastic Surgery, in which we can assess your unique facial features and aesthetic goals.

What is a Facelift?

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the appearance of the face by addressing common signs of aging. This comprehensive surgery focuses on diminishing facial sagging, eliminating displaced fat pockets, and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Facelift surgery typically involves:

  • Repositioning underlying facial tissues.
  • Tightening muscles.
  • Removing excess skin to achieve a more youthful and refreshed look.

The Benefits of a Facelift

The benefits of a facelift in Atlanta are numerous, offering patients a range of improvements to enhance their overall appearance and boost their self-confidence:

  • Addresses "double chin" or "jowls": A facelift can address the appearance of a "double chin" or "jowls" resulting from fatty deposits, loose skin, or loss of muscle tone.
  • Boosts self-confidence: Patients often experience a significant boost in self-confidence and an enhanced overall quality of life thanks to this procedure.
  • Eliminates displaced fat pockets: This procedure helps eliminate displaced fat pockets and fatty deposits, enhancing facial contours.
  • Reduces facial sagging: A facelift reduces facial sagging, particularly in the midface and jowls.
  • Minimizes fine lines and wrinkles: It can minimize fine lines and wrinkles beneath the lower eyelids, significantly improving overall skin texture.
  • Provides long-lasting results: Facelift surgery offers long-lasting results, turning back the clock on facial aging.
  • Restores youthful appearance: This treatment effectively restores a naturally youthful facial appearance by rejuvenating and enhancing facial features.
  • Smoothes deep creases and lines: Facelift surgery is highly successful in smoothing out deep wrinkles and lines along the nasolabial folds, often referred to as "laugh lines."

The facelift procedure What to expect

During a facelift procedure, which generally lasts two to five hours, we take meticulous care to ensure your comfort and safety. Depending on your needs and preferences, the surgery can be performed under intravenous sedation or general anesthesia. We will make carefully placed incisions in front of and behind your ears, strategically concealing them to minimize visibility. These incisions grant them access to the underlying tissues for the necessary adjustments. The following steps involve liposuction of the face and jowls to eliminate excess fat, muscle tightening, and repositioning or removing any loose or hanging skin.

Modern facelift techniques focus on lifting the tissues vertically from a deeper tissue level, yielding more natural and rejuvenated facial results without the "pulled" or unnatural look of past methods. We customize each facelift to the patient's unique facial features and aesthetic goals, allowing for tailored corrections. This personalized approach minimizes the recovery time and ensures optimal results. Our surgeons prioritize not only the enhancement of your facial appearance but also the safety and preservation of your unique facial characteristics throughout the procedure.

  • Swelling Timeline: Swelling may take 3 to 4 weeks to fully dissipate.
