Imagine looking in the mirror and seeing the face you remember—vibrant, confident, and full of life. While the natural effects of aging and gravity may have left their mark, modern aesthetic advancements offer an opportunity to turn back the clock.
At ARCmd in Weston, MA, our expertly tailored facelift procedures are designed to lift away the years, redefining facial contours, smoothing wrinkles, and restoring your skin’s natural firmness.
A facelift is most effective for improving the following signs of aging:
Step 1
The procedure begins with administering IV sedation or general anesthesia for comfort.
Step 2
Incisions are strategically made around the ears and along the hairline to minimize visibility. The skin is lifted, underlying tissues are tightened, and fat deposits may be removed or repositioned.
Step 3
Excess skin is trimmed, and the remaining skin is smoothly re-draped over the newly tightened contours. Incisions are closed with stitches or tissue glue and are hidden within the hairline and
natural facial contours.
Step 4
The surgeon may place bandages and drainage tubes, which are usually removed the next day.
Facelift recovery involves a few stages.
Can a facelift be combined with other procedures?
Yes, many patients choose to combine a facelift with complementary procedures like a brow lift, eyelid surgery, or injectable fillers and/or CO2 laser resurfacing for a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
How long does facelift surgery take?
Typically, the procedure lasts 2 to 5 hours, depending on the complexity and extent of correction.
Are the results permanent?
Facelift results are long-lasting but not permanent, as natural aging will continue. However, patients will enjoy a rejuvenated appearance for many years.
Will there be visible scars?
Incisions are strategically placed along the hairline and around the ears to minimize visible scarring. Over time, scars will fade and become less noticeable.
What are the risks of a facelift?
Possible complications include bleeding, infection, bruising, swelling, allergic reaction to anesthesia, temporary or permanent loss of sensation, and nerve injury. The risk of poor healing is higher in smokers. Our expert team takes every precaution to minimize risks and ensure a safe, successful outcome.
