Facelift Procedure

Our surgeons at Galardi | Bowen Plastic Surgery enjoy performing face lift operations as it reinvigorates the face and neck’s appearance by eliminating excess skin, tightening facial muscles, and lifting facial tissue. The surgery focuses on the visible aging signs below the forehead, including the cheeks, chin, jawline, and neck. Each facelift procedure is personalized based on the patient’s unique facial structure, the severity of aging signs, and ideal cosmetic goals.

Through inconspicuous incisions, our surgeons remove excess facial fat and sagging skin while relocating what remains. For some individuals whose face has lost volume with age, the fat is redistributed across the face to create a more youthful look. Repositioning the muscles and fat underneath facial skin smooths out wrinkles, reduces sagging skin, and creates a lifted look.

During this period, a patient may resume light impact activities such as walking and returning to work.

More vigorous activities, including exercise, may be resumed after four weeks of recovery. Final surgical results may take up to four weeks of recovery before becoming evident. Throughout the entire recovery process, it is crucial to maintain an effective skincare routine, use sunscreen consistently, and adhere to a healthy lifestyle.

Possible risks of facelift surgery include infection, bleeding, pain, and scarring. As with any surgery, the use of general anesthesia poses some risks. Some individuals could experience improper incision healing and long-term swelling during recovery, but these concerns are rare.
