Facelifts treat the lower face and neck only. While operating on 45 year olds is becoming more popular today, most do not have enough aging changes to warrant it. On the other end of the spectrum, as long as the number does not start with an “8” patients over 65 are typically great candidates for a first facelift. Recovery is similar to younger patients with most presentable by two weeks and completely healed by six weeks. Pain is typically not significant with facelifts because this procedure is largely just surface surgery. Numbness and tightness are common and this eventually dissipates.

One of our faves from the archives! Sam & Meg in all their glory. Happy Thanksgiving!

This case illustrates a technique that sadly is not taught anymore in training programs. It is a “scarless” technique that produces results that are stable for 20 years or more. Most silicone implants done by conventional means are done by 10-12 years and need replacement. Many, but not all, patients are candidates for this technique. Our practice offers this for those interested but we also do silicone implants either above or below the muscle, including Motiva implants, the current rage. We fit the technique to the patient, based on both their anatomy and preferences.
Special shout-out to Meghan (of “Sam and Meg” fame) for the elegant production of this post.

To be sure, “tummy tucks” are a challenging first week recovery. However, the results are enduring and it is one of the rare “one and done” procedures we do. They continue to look great decades later! The scars take years to fade but the trade is well worth it. BTW, traditional techniques here only. No muscle “etching”.
