As a natural result of the aging process, skin begins to lose its elasticity and sag. This creates facial creases and wrinkles. Sagging cheeks can cause jowls to develop; all these factors can make you look older than you feel. For patients at our cosmetic surgery practice in Tijuana, near San Diego, facelift surgery effectively rejuvenates the face, smoothing out creases, lifting jowls, and creating a younger, more refreshed look.
The surgery begins with a few key incisions. These are placed behind your hairline and in inconspicuous areas such as behind the ears. Some skin and fat are removed and facial muscles are tightened. Facial skin is then lifted and tightened to create a smoother facial contour.
To allow for proper healing, patients will need to rest approximately two weeks following a facelift procedure. During this time, all strenuous activities should be avoided. Many patients are able to return to work after the two-week recovery period. Stitches will be removed about five days after the facelift procedure, at which time patients will begin to notice their new, more youthful look. Contact the Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Institute in Tijuana, near San Diego, for facelift information and consultations.
