What is a Quick Recovery FaceLift?
Our new Quick Recovery FaceLift is a minimally invasive surgical technique that provides results similar to the traditional facelift, but with a shorter recovery time and lower cost. We take pride in bringing the most current techniques in facial plastic surgery to the West Valley.
Our facelift is not a "mini-lift", which only tightens loose skin and only addresses sagging of the lower face. Our surgical procedure lifts and tightens not only the lower face, but also addresses laxity in the neck area. Our Quick Recovery FaceLift surgically lifts and tightens not only the surface skin, but also the underlying supporting tissue, which provides the dramatic, long-lasting improvement of the lower face and the neck.
Gravity and the aging process do of course continue, but you will always have dramatic results from this surgery. Factors such as lifestyle, skin type, heredity, and sun exposure will influence the long-term result.
How long is the recovery phase?
Temporary bruising and swelling are expected. Utilizing the postoperative dressing and keeping your head elevated during sleep will promote a more rapid recovery. The sutures are generally removed on your 10th post-op day. The "downtime" for most patients is generally 10-14 days.
What are the results of a FaceLift?
The procedure provides a "natural" post-operative appearance. We avoid the "wind-blown" or "pulled-back" look that resulted from the aggressive traditional facelift performed in earlier years. As every person is different, results will vary. However, the results from this surgery are often quite dramatic and can give the patient the appearance of looking many years younger. Most patients are thrilled with the age-diminishing effects in the lower face and neck.
