Before & After Facelift Surgery

What Can A Facelift Do?

Four areas are addressed in a facelift, and each individual will have issues unique to their anatomy.
A complete facelift is intended to address the following:

Sagging skin and relaxed facial muscles
The formation of jowls and the marionette lines from the corners of the mouth to the chin
Loss of fullness in the cheeks and falling fat in the mid-face area
Laxity in the skin and muscles of the neck creating a crepe-like, loose skin surface

Facelifts are often performed along with a neck lift in order to rejuvenate the lower face. Other procedures can also be done to enhance a facelift such as eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty otoplasty, lip augmentation, and a brow lift. While these surgical procedures can’t stop the aging process, they can turn back the clock by visually re-creating a youthful and refreshed look, thus restoring self-confidence.

During a facelift consultation with Dr. Joshua Lampert, patients can expect a thorough and personalized evaluation of their specific concerns and goals. Dr. Lampert, known for his expertise and commitment to patient satisfaction, will discuss the most suitable surgical techniques and create a tailored treatment plan. Patients can feel confident in his care, knowing that their desired results and well-being are his top priorities.

Dr. Lampert’s Approach Always Personalized, Always Available

Each facelift is uniquely different.

He sees a small volume of patients, allowing him to focus on quality and fine detail and on getting an exquisite result every time. Dr. Lampert is always available to answer questions and handle any concerns that may come up.

What Does a Facelift Procedure Entail?

The first step of a facelift procedure involves making an incision that spans the entire hairline to the back of the ears. This incision gives Dr. Lampert access to the treatment area, allowing him to adjust the positioning of facial tissue and treat any of the patient’s other concerns. Changes made during this time include:

Contouring and modifying areas such as the cheeks and jawline
Lifting the skin to a more aesthetically pleasing position
Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes

A facelift in Miami can make a patient look up to a decade younger, instilling them with a new level of confidence they haven’t experienced in years. Dr. Lampert curates individualized treatment plans to ensure that the patient’s skin, facial muscles, and fat are all treated with great care and precision, leaving them looking their absolute best.

What Are the Different Types of Facelifts?

Primary (Regular) Facelift

A traditional facelift, also known as a full facelift, is a comprehensive surgical procedure to address significant signs of facial aging. It involves making incisions around the hairline, temples, and ears, allowing for repositioning and tightening of muscles, removal of excess skin, and overall rejuvenation of the face, neck, and jawline.

Mini Facelift

A slightly more complex version of a facelift, mini facelifts are appropriately named due to the fact that the skin is lifted only minimally. Mini facelifts are able to address multiple issues, including progressed signs of aging (such as wrinkles and fine lines), fat accumulation in the under-chin region, and overly large jowls.

Non-Surgical Facelift

Otherwise known as a liquid facelift, a non-surgical facelift is a great option for patients who prefer to avoid surgery. Non-surgical facelifts utilize dermal fillers and neuromodulators to reverse these signs of aging in the face. These procedures can be performed in a manner of minutes and come with virtually no recovery period or downtime. Non-surgical facelifts often involve a combination of injectables, such as Juvederm, Radiesse, Sculptra, BOTOX, Dysport, and Xeomin.

Fat-grafting facelift

Volume loss is one of the most common signs of facial aging. It leaves patients looking older than they actually feel. Fat grafting is an excellent way to restore lost volume, giving the face a fuller, younger, and healthier aesthetic. Fat grafting has become a popular option for patients, as it is a totally natural approach to achieving a more youthful look and the results are considered to be permanent.

Deep Plane Facelift

A deep plane facelift is an advanced surgical technique used to address facial aging. Unlike traditional facelifts, it targets deeper layers of tissue, repositioning muscles and fat to achieve more natural and long-lasting results. This procedure can enhance the jawline, cheeks, and neck, providing a youthful and rejuvenated appearance.

What to Expect from Facelift Recovery

The improvements in surgical technique have significantly shortened the recovery time from a facelift. In years past, patients could expect to be kept in a hospital for up to a week, with many more weeks of recovery following the surgery. Today, surgery is usually done on an outpatient basis, with the patient recovering at home. Within a week or so, patients usually find they can resume most normal activities, with a return to work in 2 weeks.
