Do I Need a Facelift?
Your face is the first thing anybody notices about you. When years of sun exposure, neglect, or other factors make you look older than your years, it can also affect your self-esteem and confidence. We offer a range of facial surgery procedures to help rejuvenate your appearance by helping you subtly lift the appearance of certain facial features. However, the facelift procedure is the gold standard of facial rejuvenation. Dr. Bohley and his team are experienced to help with different aesthetic concerns to bring the required harmony to your face.
Facial aging is an inevitable truth you cannot hide from and when these changes begin to bother you, you can check all the options available to you. Almost everybody who has gone through this has considered a facelift for a perfect way to rejuvenate the skin and restore its youthfulness. You can get dramatic results that last long, but there are a few things you must know about a facelift before booking your consultation.
What To Expect from A Face Lift
Everybody hopes for dramatic enhancement with a cosmetic procedure, but it is important to keep realistic expectations. Even after a facelift, it is impossible to look 20 again. If you have skin laxity, deep lines, and dynamic wrinkles, these will fade away after a facelift and may even get completely eliminated.
Who is a Good Candidate for the Procedure?
If you are suffering from sagging in the jawline and mid-face area, have lost volume and muscle tone, have a double chin, sagging skin, lines like nasolabial folds from the nose to the mouth and marionette lines from the mouth to the chin, a facelift will be beneficial for you. During your consultation with Dr. Bohley, he will recommend the procedure in case you have the above aging signs and a facelift will give you the best results. He ensures that all patients benefit from a personalized treatment that is suited to their specific facial changes and aesthetic goals.
What Scars Will I Get from a Facelift?
During your facelift, the incisions will be made around the cheeks and chin so that the fat and excess skin can be removed. Dr. Bohley ensures that these incisions are made within your hairline and behind your ears so that all scars are well hidden. Most of these scars will fade away with time but some of them will always remain with you.
What Will Be My Recovery from A Facelift?
A facelift is more invasive than other facial rejuvenation procedures and you will be required to take some time off your work to fully recover. Complete healing may take about 6 months. You will be required to wear a compression garment for the first 2 days and there might be drainage tubes that cover your scalp and face. You must keep your head in an elevated position for at least 2 weeks to keep the swelling in control. You will be advised to avoid strenuous activities for about 4 weeks after your facelift.
Once your results are visible, you will find that it has enhanced your youthful appearance. The results of your facelift depend a lot on the expertise of your surgeon and that is why Dr. Bohley is sought after for the exceptional results he offers. If you have less severe aging signs, he will use a mini facelift that has a faster recovery with results that last up to 5 years. The full facelift will have a longer recovery period with results that last for more than 10 years.
