Dr. Dina Eliopoulos is pleased to help patients in and around Chelmsford look their youngest and feel their best about themselves. One particular surgery that can make a positive impact on patient's lives is the facelift, which helps remove wrinkles, reduce sagging, and tighten the facial skin. Let's consider who the best candidates are for this facial plastic surgery option.
Good candidates for facelift surgery are people who are in good overall health but have cosmetic issues with facial lines and wrinkles. These candidates should not suffer from any sorts of systemic conditions that would make a facelift or any surgery a health risk.
The facelift is designed to address just the middle portion of a patient's face. This means the upper cheekbones as well as the sides and corners of the eyes. If the patient is experiencing other issues with facial aesthetics, different facial lift surgeries can be performed.
Even though the facelift is an effective method of reducing wrinkles and looking your absolute youngest, patients need to have realistic expectations when it comes to issues such as scarring, healing, and overall results. Incisions are carefully hidden behind the ears and along the lower part of the hairline, and healing will involve temporary discomfort and time off of work.
We find that when patients have realistic expectations about the treatments that they undergo, they tend to have better satisfaction with the surgery overall.
As noted above, there are other kinds of facial lift surgeries that might be better suited to the needs of a patient. These include:
Sometimes patients would prefer a non-surgical alternative to facelift surgery. In these cases, the most common options to consider are BOTOX injections or the use of dermal fillers. These cosmetic injectables can achieve the results of facelift surgery without the incisions or the recovery time. Though the injections last only for several months, repeat treatments can be performed as needed.
During the consultation process at our practice, we will be more than happy to go over all of the surgical and non-surgical treatments that are available to you. We will explain all of the risks and benefits and help you make the best possible choices with regard to your aesthetic enhancement options.
