Have you noticed your facial skin beginning to sag? Has it begun to fold around your neck, chin, and jawline? When your smooth, round, young face begins to lose its facial contours due to age and/or sun exposure, a facelift is a simple procedure that will not only restore your youthful appearance but enhance your facial contours and profile as well.
With a facelift, you can rejuvenate your entire face and revitalize your youthfulness. This highly-coveted procedure helps permanently fade away some of the most common signs of visible facial aging—such as sagging and drooping skin, fine lines, wrinkles, and folds. It can help you shed years off your appearance and offers far more dramatic results compared to non-surgical treatments.
Facelifts are one of the many popular facial surgery procedures offered at our practice. For more information about this procedure and how it can revitalize your appearance, call to schedule your consultation for a facelift in Albuquerque.
We use facelifts, also known as rhytidectomies, to remove sagging skin, minimize wrinkles, and tighten facial and neck muscles with the goal of restoring a younger, more vigorous look. A consultation with Dr. Tuggle to discuss your concerns and needs would allow us to design a unique and customized treatment plan.
Are you considering a facelift procedure in Albuquerque? If you are looking for long-lasting and comprehensive full-face rejuvenation, this procedure might be right for you. It provides an all-in-one solution to:
Unlike non-surgical options like dermal fillers, a facelift can help you address more advanced signs of aging, such as significantly sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and loss of facial volume. These deeper facial concerns cannot be addressed adequately by non-surgical treatments and require precision care. By surgically and permanently removing excess skin and repositioning your underlying facial tissues, a facelift offers more dramatic and enduring results. If you take the proper steps to maintain your results, your facelift could be permanent.
One significant advantage of a facelift over non-surgical treatments is how long-lasting it can be. Unlike non-surgical treatments, a facelift eliminates the need for frequent or annual touch-ups, allowing you to enjoy a refreshed and youthful appearance with confidence.
If you are still evaluating your options, speak with our surgeon. We can help you make an informed decision and help you determine if a facelift aligns with your aesthetic goals.
Your facelift surgery will be performed in-house at our practice, conveniently located in Albuquerque. This procedure lasts 2-3 hours, depending on what other cosmetic procedures are being done in conjunction with it. Many of our patients choose to have a neck lift, eyelid surgery, forehead lift, or chin augmentation at the same time as their facelift for a full rejuvenation of their face. We require that you have a ride arranged to and from our surgical office.
Facelift surgery typically involves the creation of strategic incisions, which are placed discreetly behind your ears and along your hairline. Through these carefully positioned openings, Dr. Tuggle will be able to access the deeper layers of your tissue. Dr. Tuggle will precisely sculpt and tighten the underlying tissues to restore your youthful contours and firmness while removing excess skin. If necessary, he removes fatty deposits from beneath the chin and neck as well before closing the incision with small sutures. We will make every effort to ensure that your incisions are as carefully concealed as possible.
Don’t be alarmed if your skin around the ear and chin are numb for a few weeks after your facelift surgery in Albuquerque. This is normal. In fact, discoloration and even loss of function or sensation that lasts a few months are also common. The good news is these side effects are temporary.
Most patients will require a complete recovery time of six to twelve weeks. During this time, we recommend that you rest as much as possible. You should:
In addition to these general tips, we will give you personalized guidance on how to best take care of yourself during your recovery period. Since the healing process is gradual, it’s most likely you won’t see final results for up to 6 months. One facelift surgery is usually plenty to achieve your desired outcome.
Do you know why some people look like they have had work done? One of the most obvious signs of plastic surgery is when your face has been restored, but the rest of your body reveals your true age.
A facelift can be a dramatic transformation. To avoid the look of having obvious work done and to keep your results as uniformly natural as possible, we strongly recommend combining your facelift with a neck lift. Obtaining these procedures simultaneously will help you lower your risk of complications, reduce your overall recovery time, and help you achieve faster and more natural results.
