You may desire a permanent solution for a youthful, rejuvenated facial appearance as you notice the signs of facial aging emerging on your face. In this case, a facelift in Fountain Hills could be the right procedure for you. With a facelift, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ross Stutman could revitalize your youthfulness by permanently smoothing some of the most common signs of visible facial aging, such as sagging and drooping facial skin, fine lines, wrinkles, and folds. This procedure can help you shed years off your face and offers more dramatic results than non-surgical treatments.
Schedule your consultation with Dr. Stutman to discover how a facelift can rejuvenate your entire face dramatically and permanently.
What Can a Facelift Treat?
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that addresses various signs of aging on your face. It is a comprehensive, dramatic, and permanent solution for patients seeking to rejuvenate their appearance and achieve long-lasting results. A facelift can effectively treat many areas.
Sagging Skin
Facelift surgery tightens excess, loose, or sagging skin, particularly around your cheeks, jowls, and neck. This helps restore a firmer, more youthful contour to your face.
Deep Wrinkles and Skin Folds
Facelifts target deep creases, folds, and wrinkles that have developed due to aging and loss of skin elasticity. By smoothing out these lines, the procedure can significantly refresh your overall appearance and make you look younger.
Jowls and Jawline
As skin loses elasticity, jowls can form along your jawline, contributing to an aged appearance. A facelift lifts and tightens these areas, restoring a more defined jawline. Eliminating jowls results in a chiseled, more contoured face.
Facial Volume Loss
Aging often leads to loss of facial volume, resulting in a hollow or gaunt appearance. Some facelift techniques may involve fat transfer, dermal fillers to restore volume, and lifting tissues.
Hairline
Dr. Stutman can adjust your hairline with this procedure if desired.
Neck Aging
With a neck lift, Dr. Stutman could address loose skin and excess fat deposits in the neck area. This helps eliminate neck bands and redefine the jawline for a more youthful profile.
Facelift surgery is highly customizable to address each patient’s unique concerns and desired outcomes. During your consultation, Dr. Stutman can explain how you can effectively rejuvenate your facial appearance with a facelift in Fountain Hills that provides natural-looking, long-lasting results.
The Facelift Procedure
The facelift procedure takes a few hours and will be performed under anesthesia for your comfort. You will not be able to drive after the procedure, so make sure to arrange for a ride home.
Dr. Stutman will design a customized surgical strategy before your procedure. However, the surgery follows this format: Dr. Stutman will create incisions placed discreetly behind your ears and along your hairline. Through these carefully positioned openings, he will be able to access the deeper layers of facial tissue, through which he will sculpt and tighten your underlying tissues, restore your youthful contours and firmness, and remove excess skin. Dr. Stutman will also adjust your hairline if needed. He will make every effort to ensure your incisions are as carefully concealed as possible.
Most patients will require a complete recovery time of four to six weeks after a facelift in Fountain Hills. During this time, we recommend that you rest as much as possible. You’ll be required to temporarily abstain from work and your social life. You will also have to avoid engaging yourself in strenuous physical activity such as working out. Make sure you have help with housework, childcare, and pet care as needed.
As you recover, you should avoid sun exposure, refrain from smoking and alcohol consumption, drink plenty of water, and eat a balanced diet. In addition to these general tips, Dr. Stutman will give you personalized guidance on how to best care for yourself during your recovery.
