WALNUT CREEKAre you ready to take the next step to address your wrinkles, skin laxity, and sagging? A facelift restores your refreshed, youthful appearance, turning back the clock for results that look like a fresh, rejuvenated version of you. A facelift performed by a skilled, experienced surgeon like Dr. Aycock has many powerful benefits.
What is a Facelift?
The surgical term for a facelift is “rhytidectomy,” and it is performed to address significant signs of aging. People often choose to have a facelift when non-surgical options no longer provide satisfactory results. This procedure is often combined with other procedures, including a neck lift, brow lift, facial fat transfers, facial implants, and many others. It can also be combined with non-surgical treatments that improve skin’s texture and pigmentation.
What are the Benefits of a Facelift?
Each person has different reasons for choosing a facelift. However, most have similar concerns about wrinkles, creases, and loose skin. The benefits of a facelift go beyond your appearance to the effect it can have on your self-esteem.
Look a Decade Younger
Most people who have a facelift with Dr. Aycock feel that they look at least ten to fifteen years younger. This procedure smooths deep lines and wrinkles, redefines the jawline, and lifts your features back to their youthful position.
Feel More Confident
A facelift can boost your confidence in many ways. Looking younger and refreshed can make you feel more self-assured and help you overcome your self-consciousness about your appearance. This increased confidence can last a lifetime.
Look Like Yourself But Younger
When performed by a skilled surgeon, facelift results look naturally rejuvenated. By lifting the underlying muscles and connective structures along with the skin, Dr. Aycock provides results that look like you looked a decade ago, not stretched or “overdone.”
Long-Lasting Results
Most people are happy with their facelift results for at least ten to fifteen years. Signs of aging will continue to develop but will have been “reset” by many years. Some people are happy with their facelift results for a lifetime, depending on their goals.
What is Recovery Like After a Facelift?
You can expect to have some bruising, swelling, and soreness after your facelift. Your face may be bandaged after the procedure. Most people feel better within a week and can return to light-activity jobs in about two weeks. You can resume your usual exercise routine after four to six weeks with Dr. Aycock’s approval.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Facelift?
A facelift is often recommended for those who are bothered by signs of aging, such as wrinkles, sagging skin, and loss of definition. Good candidates have reasonable expectations and are healthy enough for the procedure. You should not have a facelift if you have certain medical conditions.
