Facelift Surgery in Miami, Fort Lauderdale
Age affects us all, and the symptoms of aging are often most immediately obvious in the face. Smooth, firm facial skin gives way with time to wrinkles and loose folds that make a person look old and tired. Our plastic surgeon staff uses only the most advanced facelift surgery techniques to give patients from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and surrounding communities tighter, smoother facial skin. For more comprehensive treatment, many patients decide to combine facelift with other facial plastic surgery, or with non-surgical skin rejuvenation techniques.
Candidates for Facelift Surgery
Facelift surgery is appropriate for a wide variety of people who want to eliminate lax facial skin and wrinkles surgically. Our doctors must evaluate each facelift patient at our Coral Gables Cosmetic office individually, but all good candidates share some common characteristics:
The Facelift Procedure
When performing a facelift, one of our surgeons first makes a concealed incision behind the hairline and separates the skin from the underlying muscles and tissue. After tightening the facial muscles to improve the contour of the face, he stretches and repositions the skin to make it fit the face more closely and to smooth away wrinkles. Finally, excess skin from the face is trimmed at the incision site and the incision is closed.

Facelift Recovery and Results
After surgery, the face and head will be bandaged, and patients will be sent home to recover. It is important to plan ahead and take about two weeks away from work for rest and recovery at home. During this time, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Any discomfort can be controlled using medication, and these symptoms will fade over the first few weeks of recovery. Facelift patients should avoid strenuous exercise for at least two weeks after surgery. When recovering from facelift surgery, it is important to be patient. The results of the surgery will not be immediately evident, but will appear gradually as swelling and bruising fade. This process sometimes takes several weeks. We provide complete post-surgical care, including regular checkups, to ensure that healing goes smoothly. Though patients still age normally after facelift surgery, a good procedure can turn back the clock several years on a person's appearance, smoothing and tightening the facial skin and helping him or her look and feel more youthful and more attractive.
