Even if your diet consists of only the purest foods, you don’t have any bad habits like smoking or excessive drinking and you exercise every single day, gravity still creeps in as you age. No number of unguents will completely stave off the effects of getting older on your skin. That’s where surgery comes in – to get your own back on gravity, a facelift San Diego can make a huge difference, but you’ll also want to follow that up with a neck lift San Diego so the tell-tale signs of aging are completely addressed.
What exactly is a face lift San Diego? Well, it’s a surgical procedure that reduces sagging folds of skin along the jawline and on your cheeks – basically, new contours are created on your face by pulling back a flap on either side of your face and surgically altering the tissues below the skin. Once the tissues are altered, excess skin is removed and the flaps are sutured closed. A neck lift San Diego reduces fat deposits and sagging skin on the neck, and is often done in conjunction with a face lift to ensure the overall result is a more youthful looking face and neck.
It’s very important to note that a face lift San Diego won’t decrease fine lines or wrinkles and nor will it address sun damage on your skin. There are other non-surgical treatments that can address those issues, such as Botox.
A face lift San Diego usually takes around three to four hours, with a full recovery time of around six weeks. You’ll be wearing bandages for about three days, where after you may be able to use an elasticized facial sling instead. After a week, your stiches can be removed. In 10 to 14 days, you’ll be able to go about your usual daily routine, but will still need to take care to avoid anything too strenuous. It’s important to understand what to expect and what the final result will be once you’ve gone through the procedure. If you are opting for a brow lift or eyelid surgery at the same time, then the procedure will last longer.
Recovery time for a neck lift San Diego is between two and four weeks – usually in two weeks swelling and bruising is gone, but it’s best to ensure you give your body enough time to fully heal, something that is true of any surgery.
Always choose a board-certified surgeon who has experience in the procedure you’re opting for. Take the time in your first consultation to understand everything that will be done and ensure that you effectively communicate what you want the end result to be. Every surgery is unique, because every person is unique, so it’s important to ask all the questions you want and to discuss every aspect of the surgery so you feel comfortable and confident.
