Facelift Surgery at The Gunter Center in Dallas-Fort Worth

Advancements in facelift surgery have made it possible to achieve subtle, natural results for patients who would like to look younger, but still look like themselves. Sagging in the lower half of the face and in the neck area can now be virtually eliminated without creating a tight or pulled appearance. It is important to entrust the appearance of your face to a plastic surgeon who is up-to-date on the latest techniques in facelift surgery. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area at The Gunter Center for Aesthetics & Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Vincent P. Marin performs all facelift surgeries with exquisite care to ensure optimal results that subtly enhance and rejuvenate the natural appearance of the face.

Candidates for Facelift Surgery

Facelift surgery primarily addresses the lower two thirds of the face, as well as the neck area, to help patients with sagging in these areas achieve an improved, rejuvenated appearance. Good candidates for facelift surgery include people with jowls or loss of muscle tone in the lower region of the face and those who would like to eliminate excess skin and fat from under the chin and jaw. Deep creasing between the sides of the nose and the corners of the mouth (nasolabial folds) may be better corrected with a mid-facelift. If you are unsure which procedure is right for you, please schedule a facelift surgery consultation with Dr. Marin at his Dallas-Fort Worth office.

Surgery and Recovery

Facelift surgery is performed in different ways depending on the aesthetic needs of each patient. For many patients, the best option is a traditional facelift. In the traditional facelift, incisions are made along the sides of the face, in front of each ear, and into the hairline near the temples. During facelift surgery, Dr. Marin removes loose skin and fat from the face and neck. This by itself often makes patients appear much younger, and in cases where excess neck fat creates a double chin, neck liposuction as part of the facelift procedure can even help patients to look as though they have lost weight. Dr. Marin is also well versed in performing short-scar facelifts. In this approach, a shorter incision is made in front of the ear and wraps underneath it, forming a “U.”  This allows Dr. Marin to treat the facial aging while limiting the scar length and patient’s recovery.

Patients are advised to rest at home after facelift surgery to allow the body time to heal. There may be some swelling, bruising, and numbness following the procedure. To minimize these, it is best to keep the head elevated the first few days after surgery. In about a week, the stitches are removed. Over time, the swelling subsides and results will appear to gradually improve each day with most patients being able to return to their daily routine in two to three weeks.
