Face Lift Miami

A face lift in Miami is an elective cosmetic surgical procedure that can remove excess skin as well as tighten the skin. This procedure can conceal age and restore your youthful appearance in a natural way. A good candidate for a facelift is someone in their late 30s or older, although age does not determine quality of a facial plastic surgery procedure. The most important factor is skin elasticity, the skin’s ability to stretch and heal.

There are Several Steps to a Face Lift in Miami Procedure:

The incisions are made. They are usually found in the hairline, in front of the ear and under the chin. This is typically where the incision is placed. The incision then continues around in front of the earlobe. At the top of the ear it curves back into the hairline. Some incisions extend into the temple hair above the ear and curve slightly forward. Incisions can also be made underneath the chin.
The skin is then “lifted.” The skin is carefully cut beneath the fat. The skin is gently pulled at the lip, cheek and midline of neck. This is where the tissue is separated delicately. The thin fascia (connective tissue of the face) is also pulled back to provide deeper support to the facial skin, especially around the jaw line.
The tissue is then stitched behind the ear. Any fat is removed to give a sleeker, cleaner look.
Some wrinkles may also be removed by gently smoothing the skin back toward the ears.

Immediately after your face lift in Miami surgery, you will experience some temporary swelling and bruising in your midface region, which may take several weeks to completely resolve. The first night, it’s important to rest with your head elevated to decrease swelling and bruising. You can use a cold compress for comfort and to help control swelling. Additionally, pain medication may be prescribed for post - operative pain.
