If you have found yourself wishing you could turn back the hands of time and restore your youthful appearance, there are a variety of surgical and non-invasive options available to help you achieve your goals. For example, a facelift is a wonderful surgical option for improving moderate to severe signs of aging, such as fine lines, deep wrinkles, loose sagging skin, and a loss of volume in the face and neck. Facelift surgery can also improve your overall confidence resulting in an improved quality of life.
The facelift preparation and surgery process in Eugene is completely customized by our board-certified plastic surgeon to each patient’s needs and desired results. Consider calling to schedule a consultation for more information and to get started on your journey to a rejuvenated appearance.
Facelift surgery or rhytidectomy is ideal for men and women who would like to restore a youthful appearance by lessening or eliminating the common signs of moderate to advanced aging. While there is technically no specific age for when you may need this type of procedure, it works best for individuals in their 50s and beyond when less invasive treatment methods are no longer as effective. However, facelifts can be performed in patients as young as their 40s if genetics, excess sun exposure, dramatic weight loss, certain medical conditions, or lifestyle choices like smoking accelerate the aging process.
The best way to prepare for the surgical process of a facelift in Eugene and to find out if you are an ideal candidate is by scheduling a consultation in our office. Dr. Daniel will thoroughly review your medical history, goals for surgery, and anatomical considerations to determine the best technique and plan for you. During this visit, you will also be made aware of all pre-and post-op instructions.
Some common things patients are asked to do prior to surgery might include:
You may also be advised to combine the facelift with a neck lift or other surgeries or treatments to ensure optimal results.
The facelift surgery process in Eugene begins with the administration of general anesthesia to ensure that you are comfortable throughout the procedure. This is why we recommend that you have a trusted individual drive you home following the treatment.
During your procedure, Dr. Daniel will make a discreet, hidden incision in your hairline near the temples. This incision travels in front of the ear, then down in front of the earlobe, and back to the lower part of the scalp behind the ears. If there is only minimal skin sagging, a mini facelift will be performed, involving shorter incisions.
Through liposuction, unwanted fat will be removed. The internal tissues and muscles may be adjusted to improve facial contours, and the skin is then pulled taut over the surface, trimming away any excess and closing the incisions.
It is important to note that surgical techniques will vary based on your individual treatment plan and whether you are undergoing multiple procedures at once.
If you are considering getting a facelift, and have questions about the preparation and surgical process in Eugene, consider calling to book a comprehensive consultation. Let our team of aesthetic experts and board-certified plastic surgeon help you restore your youthfulness and self-confidence.
