A facelift, when performed with the most advanced surgical techniques, will restore a smooth, refreshed, youthful look. Older surgical techniques created an unnatural look as in these procedures, the underlying facial structure was not addressed. With our advanced approach youcan look years younger in a very natural way, with a result that is maintained for the long term.
As the body ages, the facial skin and supporting structures lose their elasticity and the effects of gravity and stress appear, leading to saggy cheeks, deep wrinkles, jowls, and the other telltale signs of aging.

What is the follow-up care?
After surgery, you will have a small drain placed behind each ear and be in a soft dressing with cool packs to minimize swelling and bruising. A specially-trained nurse will escort you home or to your nearby hotel. The nurse will stay with you until the morning after surgery (or longer if you desire) to keep you comfortable and help us monitor your recovery.
On the morning after surgery, the nurse will remove your dressings and take out your drains. Over the next 4-7 days, a great deal of your swelling and bruising will resolve. Most patients feel comfortable returning to public life with some makeup at this point. You will feel swollen and a little sore, but this also improves rapidly during the first week. The first week of your recovery should be spent taking
short walks and with otherwise minimal exertion. During the second week, you can gradually increase your activity level. After seven to ten days, you will be ready to return to a standard desk job. By 3-4
weeks, you will be released to resume your full preoperative activity level.’
