The cost of a facelift can vary depending on the area of concern. It is important to seek the guidance of an experienced cosmetic doctor when selecting a plastic surgery. A facelift may also be able to correct sagging or aging skin. Here are some tips to help you determine how much it will cost you. Learn more about the process, and what to expect. Remember, the more information you have about facelifts, the cheaper they will be.
SMAS Lifts Remove Jowls
A SMAS facelift, also known as an SMAS rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that tightens the skin and repositions the underlying muscles to address the sagging of the lower two-thirds of the face. The procedure also addresses the loss of cheek volume, which is caused by the SMAS membrane. This procedure can remove jowls, and may also reduce signs of aging.
Facelifts with deep planes reduce jowls
Dr. Keller has been performing facial plastic surgery for years. Dr. Keller uses a unique method to perform a deep-plane facelift. He can reposition your face in both directions rather than just one. His high-SMAS approach frees the "2ixed SMAS" to create a more sturdy 2ixation area and results in a better lift in your jowl area.
Mini facelifts target sagging skin
While a full facial can transform your look for years, not everyone is a candidate. A mini facelift addresses the sagging skin and wrinkles on the lower face, and it is typically less invasive than a full facelift. This means that you will experience shorter recovery times and less scarring. It is also usually cheaper than a standard facelift.
Facelift complications
Although some problems can occur with a facelift there are few that will be noticeable and will go away in a few months. Although they are quite common, swelling andbruising can be minimal. The first four to 6 days following surgery are reserved for rest. Do not lift heavy objects, do aerobic exercises or have sex. For a few days, you may have to keep your head elevated during sleep. Your doctor will prescribe pain medication to reduce swelling and pain. Your face may feel tender and bruised. You can use makeup to conceal any scarring if needed.
A facelift will cost you more than your monthly budget
The cost of a facelift can be significant. The surgeon and facility may charge you a fee for the gown and gloves, as well as the use of scalpels and needles. You may have to pay for prescription medication and bandages during your recovery. Anesthesia monitoring may incur additional costs. Fortunately, there are ways to avoid these costs.
