This is the more simple facelift procedure, best for early facelifts where slight facial laxity exists but volume and shape of the face is still aesthetically pleasing.

Each of the aforementioned procedures can be completely customized to suit your individual needs. If desired, an additional incision can be made under the chin in order to perform platysmaplasty, addressing sagging bands which develop with age, or your facelift can be combined with a brow lift or blepharoplasty to reduce wrinkles and fine lines in the forehead and around the eyes. Each face lift can be unique as the patient and should be custom-tailored in order to achieve your optimal result.

Immediately after surgery, the face is fitted with bandages in order to decrease the recovery time and to reduce swelling. Generally, post-operative instructions call for plenty of rest and limited movement in order to speed up the healing and recovery process. The stitches are normally removed within a week. Patients sometimes report some minor tight discomfort associated with surgery. Any discomfort can be treated effectively with oral medication. While complications are rare, patients can minimize potential problems by carefully following the directions given after the procedure.
