Facelift Surgery (Rhytidectomy)

facelift surgery

The most visible signs of aging first appear on the face. The effects of time usually manifest as skin laxity and wrinkling. A facelift/rhytidectomy can help to lift lax skin and diminish wrinkles in certain locations. These signs of aging occur gradually on the face. Usually, patients seek consultation when the face they see no longer reflects their self-image.

The loss of your face’s youthful look can be due to a variety of factors. They include genetics, gravity, the results of your environment and the stresses of life. Procedures are done at the same time as facelifts are brow lifts and eyelid surgery. Brow lifts correct dropping or deeply wrinkled foreheads. Eyelid surgery removes the wrinkles around aging eyes to give them a more youthful look.

Facelift surgery can help with jowling, neck and cheek laxity. It can be combined with a laser skin resurfacing procedure. This combination provides a more complete and longer lasting effect. Patients are often fearful of having a facelift. They fear the unwanted over pulled appearance.Dr. Newman’s uses a special technique performing a deep lift. This avoids the unnatural appearances associated with a facelift. Facelift surgery generally take two to three hours to perform. Healing is rapid with generally minimal bruising and swelling which decreases by the third day. Patients can shampoo their hair in three days, wear makeup and take long walks by the fifth day.

Rhytidectomy“It came to you to see if Botox would help how I looked before our son’s wedding. Funny to think now that I thought that would help me at all. Your honest evaluation led me to think about a full facelift I firs(rhytidectomy surgery). Over the last several years I could see my face changing. I didn’t recognize myself, I hated what I saw. This affected how I felt on the inside more than I realized. I could accept aging, but the way I was showing age on my face caused me to feel sad. Not depressed, just sad about the loss of the face I always new. At the right time in my life, I found you. Because of your skill, talent, and knowledge, you gave me back my face. The face I lost for so long. That is a major life-changing gift you gave me. I appreciate what you were able to do for me. I’m so happy with the results of this facelift. I’m happy you are a worry wart. I’m a happy blessed person and this will bring me happiness.”  From a patient

“I would like to thank Dr. Newman. He did an awesome job on my facelift. My friends and family tell me that I have taken 20 years off my age of 62 years. I can honestly say that the procedure and recovery were virtually painless. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Thank you Dr. Newman and your staff of amazing professionals.”
