Los Angeles Facelift Procedure

Our Los Angeles facelift procedures rejuvenate the face and neck area by tightening drooping underlying muscles and tissue, and eliminating excess skin. Continually tightening the face alone will not always result in a youthful appearance. Much of the appearance of aging has to do with a loss of fat in the face, which gives it a youthful fullness and appearance. For this reason, our Beverly Hills plastic surgeons often perform facial fat grafting in conjunction with a Los Angeles face lift procedure to tighten and remove excess skin while also restoring fullness to the area of the jawline and midface. This results in a much more youthful and natural look.

During our face lift Los Angeles procedure, the plastic surgeons at Sunset also take great care to place the incisions so that they are well-hidden. The skin is replaced without tension to achieve the least noticeable scar possible and the earlobe is also kept in its normal anatomic position (when this is not done correctly it is one of the telltale signs of a poorly done facelift). During our facelift Los Angeles surgery, care must also be taken in the hairline area behind the ear be to avoid scarring as much as possible.

With meticulous attention to detail and the latest techniques, Sunset Cosmetic Surgery produces excellent Beverly Hills and Los Angeles face lift results for their patients.

Typical Recovery Time following a Los Angeles facelift: Plan on resting for the first few days after your face lift Los Angeles procedure. You will be swollen and most people also experience some post-operative bruising. Stitches are usually removed during the first week of recovery and you will need to exercise care when working with your hair (or shaving for men) since you will have incisions along the hairline. Avoid strenuous activities for about 3 weeks. The average time off work for most of our facelift Los Angeles and Beverly Hills patients seems to be about two weeks.
