Turn back the Clock with Facelift Surgery

As you get older, your face is one of the first things to show the signs of aging. Sun damage and the inevitable effects of gravity all give way to wrinkles and sagging skin across your face. With the help of a facelift, those visible signs of aging can become a thing of the past.

Am I Ready For A Facelift?

With all of the non-surgical alternatives available, it may be difficult to know when it is time for a long-term facial procedure. Most patients who choose to undergo a face lift in Oklahoma City are between 40 to 60 years of age. A facelift can be used for improving the appearance of several issues including:

• Sagging skin and jowls
• Deep skin folds and wrinkles
• Loose, excess facial skin

A Brief Walkthrough Of Your Facelift Surgery

Depending on your specific case, Dr. Lowe will choose to use local or general anesthesia for your facelift surgery. He will begin the surgery by making an incision at the temples and following the hairline to just around your ears. From here, Dr. Lowe will be able to tighten the underlying muscles and trim away any excess fat or skin to achieve a smooth and youthful contour for your face.

Once the incisions are closed, Dr. Lowe will use surgical dressings to help your skin heal and conform to the new facial contours.

What To Expect After Your Facelift

Recovery from your facelift surgery will take about three weeks. It is important to get plenty of rest at home and limit your levels of activity. This is the perfect time to catch up on some of your favorite television shows. Swelling and bruising will gradually fade over time, but a few days after surgery, you can apply makeup to help cover the signs of surgery.

Once you are fully healed, your facelift will have you looking younger and refreshed with results lasting anywhere from five to 10 years. If you are ready to do something about your wrinkles and sagging skin, click below to speak with Dr. Lowe in Oklahoma City.
