Facial
Rejuvenation Surgery
As there are many kinds of physicians, there are many
kinds of face lifts. To be effective, it must meet your
personal wants and needs. Meeting this criteria doesn’t
always call for the extensive surgery but rather, and
in most cases, a modified tuck with very little downtime.
You may have heard of the S-Lift or Quick Lift. These
two are modifications of the more extensive procedure
and are practiced at our Pavilion location.
Brow Lift
We have been performing brow lift surgery, or better
stated, elevating the eyebrow, for 25 years. The methods
have varied but despite the method employed, a brow
lift produces a very dramatic enhancement.
We often encounter patients seeking eye surgery because
of sagging skin on the upper lids. They are under the
incorrect assumption that operating on the eyelids alone
will improve that situation. What is really needed is
a brow lift and this is something we often suggest to
our patients.
We currently employ what is known as a peritrichal incision,
which is an incision approximately three inches long
on each side of the forehead just immediately in back
of the frontal portion of the hairs. We angle the incision
in such a way that the hairs will be given an opportunity
to grow through the incision and thereby hiding it.
This procedure can be done by itself or in conjunction
with face and neck lift surgeries or even with Blepharoplasty
surgery.
The Scenario
of a Facial Rejuvenation Procedure
This is what you might experience while undergoing any
facial cosmetic procedure.
You would enter the office approximately one hour before
the procedure where I will escort you to the operating
room. The anesthesiologist would the start anesthesia
intravenously and you will go off into a twilight and
restful sleep. Almost all procedures are completed within
two or three hours. During this time you will remain
comfortable, pain-free and restful.
Afterwards, my staff would escort you to the recovery
room where you will remain for approximately one to
two hours and then be discharged, to be escorted home
by one of your friends or family members.
If you have had a face or neck lift you may go home
with an adhesive type bandage on the neck and cheek.
This would be removed the next morning. It is important
to note that you may notice blood on the bandage following
a face or neck lift. This is normal drainage. However,
if you were concerned we ask that you contact the office.
If you have had eye surgery there is no bandage at all.
If you have had nasal surgery there will be tape across
the bridge of the nose and one small piece of tape across
the nostrils.
The first post-operative day you would return to the
office and I would remove all bandages. In the case
of the nasal operation I would keep a few pieces of
tape on the bridge of your nose. On your first post-operative
day you should expect some degree of swelling. You would
have soreness more than pain and certainly be able to
ambulate. You would return to a normal diet and you
may shower and shampoo at will.
The second post-operative day the swelling usually maximizes,
then after that point the swelling rapidly subsides.
By the fourth post-operative day you would be able to
drive yourself to and from our office. You would also
be able to apply make-up and there will be no bandages
whatsoever.
You would be able to return to work approximately on
the tenth post-operative day. Of course this is not
set in stone and is certainly dependant on the extent
of surgery that is performed. Some patients return to
work in one week and in some cases no longer than ten
days.
