My friend’s face felt numb for a little while after her facelift surgery. Is this common?
Answer:
Yes, there is a six-week period where patients feel numbness around their incision lines due to the stretching of the nerves from swelling. Sometimes numbness can last for up to three months, however the numbness does subside with time.
When can I begin my normal exercise regimen again after my facelift surgery?
Answer:
It is recommended that you rest for at least three weeks after surgery to give your body maximum healing time. It is good to refrain from any aerobic or anaerobic exercise during this healing period. After this period you can slowly work back into your normal exercise regimen.
I have deep wrinkles around my mouth, and my whole face seems to sag. Am I a good candidate for a facelift?
Answer:
You sound like a great candidate for a facelift. A rhytidectomy can drastically improve sagginess and wrinkles in cheeks and around the mouth producing a younger look. A facelift will not erase all signs of aging but it can help to improve and rejuvenate your facial appearance.
A “mini facelift” is a smaller rhytidectomy procedure that can be targeted to specific areas. It is done under local anesthesia and can be combined with components of multiple procedures, if desired, like blepharoplasty or fat transfers.
A facelift will not stop time or aging, so permanent results are not possible and signs of aging will eventually occur. However, it will work to take years off your image and help to restore your youthful appearance for ten years or longer. Your facelift will last it’s longest with proper skin care.
I have bags under my eyes. Will a facelift help to tighten this area too?
Answer:
A facelift will not really help the bags underneath your eyes. You should look into having a lower blepharoplasty along with your facelift for complete facial rejuvenation. A blepharoplasty can help remove the excess skin, fat, and muscle around your eyes, which is causing the bags. With a rhytidectomy (facelift) and blepharoplasty, you can achieve your desired results.
If I get a facelift will I have full function of all my facial muscles or is there a chance I might look plastic like some celebrities?
Answer:
Yes you will have full function of your face muscles and you will not look plastic. You will look rejuvenated and younger. The facelift technique tightens face muscles, fat, and skin to shed years off your appearance, all while achieving a natural look.
