Procedure and Recovery
The Facelift begins with incisions hidden in the hairline and around the ears. Excess skin is removed, and underlying tissues are repositioned to restore youthful contours. The procedure is customized to each individual, ensuring results that are both significant and natural-looking.
Recovery involves rest and minimal activity to allow for healing. Swelling and bruising are common but will subside, revealing a more youthful, rested appearance. Follow-up care is essential to monitor healing and results.
Complications are rare but can include infection, hematoma, and nerve injury. Expert surgical technique minimizes risks.
