FACIAL PLASTIC SURGERY
Facelift in West Palm Beach
With age, both men and women experience certain changes to facial structure. The facial plastic surgery procedure has helped many of our West Palm Beach & Fort Lauderdale patients regain a more youthful appearance.
What Could Lead To Facial Aging
Aside from the passage of time, facial aging is significantly affected by genetic makeup and UV exposure. Sun damage breaks down the skin cells, as well as the supportive tissues, leading to sagging jowls, flattened cheeks, drooping eyelids, and multiple other concerns. Whatever areas are causing you concern; a facelift procedure can be performed to address them.
Who Gets A Facelift?
The facelift procedure is suited to any man or woman whose skin and supportive tissues have changed dramatically over time. Those who tend to see the best results are patients who have good definition and strength in the underlying bone structure of the face.
Although many patients today seek facial rejuvenation with non-surgical treatments like fillers and other injectables, there is nothing like a surgical facelift to give you noticeable results when the signs of age have become difficult to ignore. Patients range in age from their forties to their eighties.
What To Expect
As with any plastic surgery procedure, expectations are key to your satisfaction. The purpose of face lift surgery is to restore youthful contours to the lower part of the face by tightening the skin on the cheeks and forehead. Dr. Jarial achieves beautiful, natural results using precision techniques, which he has perfected over his career. He seeks to meet each patient’s expectations by first performing a thorough consultation in which the desired outcome is discussed.
The facelift procedure is conducted through tiny incisions at the temples, just past the hair line. These incisions extend in a line in front of the ear, and continue behind the earlobe to the lower scalp. In addition to trimming excess fat from the chin and neck, Dr. Jarial also tightens the muscles beneath the skin before closing incisions. The outcome of a meticulously performed facelift is harmony amongst facial features and a refreshed appearance.
Common Misconceptions About Facelift Surgery
Facelift surgery, or rhytidectomy, is often misunderstood. One common misconception is that it’s only for older individuals. In reality, facelifts can benefit people in their 40s and 50s who are beginning to notice signs of aging. Another misconception is that facelifts provide a “windswept” look. However, modern techniques aim for natural, rejuvenated results. Lastly, some believe that non-surgical options can achieve the same results. While non-surgical treatments can enhance appearance, they do not provide the same level of improvement as a surgical facelift.
How to Prepare for a Facelift
Preparation is key to a successful facelift. Here are some steps to consider:
Medical Evaluation: Dr. Jarial will conduct a thorough medical assessment to ensure you are a good candidate for surgery.
Medication Review: Inform Dr. Jarial of any medications you are taking, as some may need to be adjusted before surgery.
Smoking: If you smoke, it’s crucial to stop at least a month before surgery, as smoking can interfere with healing.
Plan for Recovery: Arrange for someone to drive you home after the surgery and stay with you for at least the first 24 hours.
Consultation with Dr. Jarial
During your consultation, Dr. Jarial will discuss your goals and expectations, review your medical history, and perform a physical examination. This is also the time to ask any questions you have about the procedure, recovery, and expected outcomes. Dr. Jarial will explain the different types of facelift techniques and recommend the best approach for your needs.
Types of Facelift Techniques
Facelift techniques vary depending on the patient’s needs and desired outcomes. Here are some common types:
Mid-Facelift: Focuses on the cheek area, lifting and tightening the skin to reduce nasolabial folds and sagging cheeks. Ideal for patients who don’t require a full facelift.
Mini Facelift: Targets the lower face and neck. It’s less invasive than a traditional facelift, making it suitable for younger patients and those with less extensive aging. Recovery time is generally shorter.
Full Facelift: Addresses the entire face, including the forehead, cheeks, jawline, and neck. This comprehensive approach provides dramatic, long-lasting results.
Neck Lift: Often performed with a facelift, this procedure tightens loose neck skin and removes excess fat, resulting in a smoother, more defined neck and jawline.
Results
The results of a facelift by Dr. Jarial are long-lasting and can make you look years younger. Patients often report increased confidence and satisfaction with their appearance.
