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 facelift 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 Los Angeles facelift procedure, the Beverly Hills 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 Los Angeles facelift 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 Los Angeles and Beverly Hills facelift results for their patients.
Typical Recovery Time following a Los Angeles facelift:
Plan on resting for the first few days after your Los Angeles facelift
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 Beverly Hills and Los Angeles patients seems to be about two weeks.
