Effectively Remove Years of Aging From Your Face

While facelift does not stop the aging process, it “turns back the clock” by about 10 years. Los Angeles patients can enjoy their facelift results for many years, especially if they take good care of themselves by maintaining their weight, avoiding sun exposure and following a sound skin care routine. Some patients opt to repeat the procedure after 10 years to stay ahead of the curve.

How Much Does A Facelift Cost?

The price of a facelift varies based on the needs and aesthetic desires of the patient. During your consultation with Dr. Sanders, he will provide you with a price estimate that is based on these individual factors. At that time, you may also wish to ask Dr. Sanders about the financing options that he offers, which create an affordable monthly payment method with low to zero interest.

What Is A Neck Lift?

Neck lift is a surgical procedure that helps reduce or eliminate band lines, excess skin and fatty tissue deposits from the neck area. This surgical treatment also tightens skin of the neck, creating a more youthful neckline. This may involve tightening loose muscle, removal of excess fat and/or skin, or a combination of these procedures.

What Is A Mini Facelift?

A limited, or mini-facelift combines a limited necklift with a cheeklift in that it improves the cheek and jawline area, with only a moderate change to the neck and no incision beneath the chin. This type of facelift is perfect for patients who want smoother, lifted skin around the cheek and jawline but whose neck requires minimal improvement. One popular type of mini-facelift is termed an Extended MACS-Lift.

The “Natural” Facelift

We all suffer from the consequences of age. But today, more women and men are discovering that by repositioning drooping fat, removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles and re-draping skin, they can receive rejuvenating effects. For some, a facelift procedure may provide the solution. But how do you avoid a “plastic,” pulled look that lets the world know you’ve had a procedure? The skill and artistry of Dr. Sanders can enable Los Angeles patients to appear years younger and recapture their youth with an improvement that appears natural.

Facelift Frequently Asked Questions

Age is less important than the health of the candidate. Generally, patients in their 40s and 50s tend to be healthier with fewer medical issues than those in their 60s and 70s. However, as long as the patient is in good health and not struggling with chronic medical issues, age is not a serious consideration.

With proper maintenance and care, facelift results will last for years. Furthermore, a Los Angeles patient who has a facelift will always look better than they would look if they never had a facelift. That being said, the natural progression of aging will cause sagging skin or wrinkles to return over time. This doesn’t mean the facelift is wearing off or needs to be redone; rather, it just means that the patient’s face is aging normally and may benefit from a touchup lift.

As mentioned above, a facelift can help set back the clock for many patients when it comes to their appearance. However, it cannot stop the clock from moving forward, which means wrinkles and sagging skin will start to return at some point in time after a facelift procedure. Dr. Sanders does his best to combat this natural aging by using a technique that tightens the tissue deep to the cheek skin called the SMAS. Unlike skin, which will eventually stretch and sag if tightened with sutures, the SMAS is able to remain taut and firm. Because the skin is attached to the SMAS, the skin will also remain taut for longer. That being said, if the skin does start to sag, a retightening of the SMAS and skin is possible and can provide great results for San Fernando Valley patients.

Both men and women in the Los Angeles area can benefit from a facelift. Men have many of the same aging concerns as women and want to prevent themselves from looking old or worn before their time. Because of this, there are more similarities than differences between male and female procedures because they share a similar goal – namely, to restore to the patient the look they had years before. Both will focus on helping patients avoid the overly stretched “wind tunnel” appearance by using deep-tissue sutures and avoiding a backward pull on the cheek skin. Additionally, Dr. Sanders will hide scars in skin creases and along the edge of the front of the ear. Alternatively, men will sometimes have a very well-defined crease in front of the ear that they may prefer as their incision location.

The operation itself is not painful, as anesthesia is administered for patient comfort. After surgery, some patients have mild discomfort in the head and neck that disappears within a day or so. Oral medication can help soothe the pain. Also, any surgical incision leaves a scar, but Dr. Sanders is careful to place the incisions in the natural creases of the skin and in the hairline to prevent noticeable scarring. Most of Dr. Sanders’ facelift scars are so inconspicuous that even a hairdresser cannot detect them.

Recovering from Facelift Surgery

Recovery time for a facelift surgery is usually 10-14 days, based on the type of facelift performed and your rate of healing. After a full facelift and full necklift procedure, you will generally have small drainage tubes behind each ear for a few days. After any type of facelift, there will be some bruising and swelling on the face, which should subside within the first two weeks. After 10-14 days, you may resume normal activities, including driving and light exercise. Most patients look quite normal by then.
