Do I Need A Facelift?
The signs of aging usually show up on your face first, and since this can make you look older than your years, many patients begin to feel self-conscious. There are several reasons for facial aging, including excessive exposure to the sun, neglecting your skin, and environmental damage. If the changes in your skin such as wrinkles, lines, volume loss, and sagging begin to bother you, it is time to consult Dr. Bohley about the facial rejuvenation treatments offered at our center.
Even though we offer different surgical procedures and non-surgical treatments to offer you a refreshed appearance, the facelift procedure is the gold standard of facial rejuvenation. Dr. Bohley uses the facelift to address all skin imperfections you may be dealing with, and his aim is to get you the desired facial balance and harmony.
During your facelift consultation, Dr. Bohley will evaluate your skin and talk about the changes you are experiencing before determining if a facelift is the best procedure for you. We offer dramatic results that appear natural and last many years.
Everybody seeks dramatic enhancement from a cosmetic procedure, but it is important to have realistic expectations right from the beginning. We cannot help you look 20 again with a facelift procedure, but Dr. Bohley has the expertise to take more than a decade off your appearance with the elimination of the lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity.
Am I a Good Candidate for the Facelift Procedure?
Most of our patients looking for a facelift are experiencing sagging skin in the mid-face area and jawline, or they have lost volume and muscle tone, or are bothered with other aging irregularities such as a double chin, sagging skin, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines. During your initial consultation with Dr. Bohley, he will evaluate your skin and muscle tone as well as the different signs of aging you are experiencing before he determines if the facelift procedure can help get you optimal results. Your facelift will be personalized to suit your specific requirements and help you achieve your desired facial rejuvenation.
Do Facelifts Cause Scars?
Dr. Bohley makes your incisions around the cheeks and chin, which allows him easy access to excess facial fat and skin. He ensures that these incisions are well hidden within your hairline and go behind the ears so that you are not left with any visible scarring. Most of the scars you get from your facelift procedure will fade with time.
What Can You Expect During the Recovery?
A facelift is an invasive surgical procedure meant to get you facial rejuvenation, and you must be prepared to take some time off your work for proper healing. Most patients require about 6 months to completely recover from the surgery. Immediately after your surgery, Dr. Bohley recommends that you wear a compression garment for the first two days that will keep the swelling in check. You may also have drainage tubes that cover your face and scalp to avoid a case of seroma.
It is important that you keep your head elevated for the first 2 weeks. You must also avoid any strenuous activities including exercise for about a month. Dr. Bohley will let you know when it is OK to increase your activities when you visit him for your post-surgery follow-up appointments.
The facelift procedure enhances your appearance and Dr. Bohley has the surgical and artistic skills to offer his patients consistently beautiful results that completely refresh your appearance. When the aging signs are not that severe, you can take advantage of the mini facelift procedure offered at our center. This gives you a faster recovery and the results last for about 5 years. Whenever you need to touch up your results in the future, Bohley Cosmetic Surgery also offers a range of non-surgical treatments that you can discuss in detail with us.
