Facelift surgery, which is also known as a rhytidectomy, helps decrease visible signs of aging in the face and neck region. If you live near Mount Lebanon, Wexford, Pittsburgh, or the surrounding areas in PA and have considered a facelift procedure, Premier Plastic Surgery has the best doctors around to help you achieve the appearance you desire.
A facelift can bring back youthful contours in the face and neck area to counteract the effects of stress, age, heredity, and much more.
A facelift procedure also can correct conditions such as:
To make for a more complete and total rejuvenation, facelift surgery will frequently be combined with brow lifts, facial implants, or eyelid surgery.
Individuals near Mount Lebanon or in Wexford, and the Pittsburgh, PA area who are generally in good health, do not smoke, and have no prior medical conditions that would impair the healing process are ideal candidates for this procedure. Regardless, it is important to consult with your surgeon to see if facelift surgery is the right choice for you.
During a facelift procedure, the first thing administered is the anesthesia. Patients have the option for general anesthesia or intravenous (IV) sedation. Both provide a safe option for patients, but general sedation is considered to put the patient in a deeper sleep. You and your surgeon will discuss which sedation option is best for you based on your weight and medical history.
Once anesthesia is administered, the surgeon will begin to make the incisions. The surgical goals that you and the surgeon agreed upon will determine where and how many incisions are made. There are two methods of performing the incisions:
After all the incisions are made, the surgeon is able to sculpt or redistribute the fat and underlying tissue in the face and neck. Skin is then redraped over new contours and held in place with sutures. The last part of the process is simply trimming away the excess skin.
