Facelift in Beverly Hills, CA
Your face is typically the first thing people look at when they see you, and it is often the first area where signs of aging begin to appear. Deep wrinkles around the mouth, drooping cheeks, an undefined jawline, and sagging neck tissues can make you appear older than you feel.
Dr. Charles Lee is board certified in both plastic surgery and facial plastic surgery, and he offers facelift surgery to help Asian patients achieve a younger, more rested facial appearance. Dr. Lee understands that Asian patients experience facial aging in a unique way, and he uses surgical techniques to maintain their aesthetic but rejuvenate their look.
What Can a Facelift Treat?
As patients enter their 30s, their skin produces less collagen, which eventually leads to sagging and a loss of fullness in the mid-face. The loss of fat and elasticity in the mid-face also can cause an older, more tired appearance.
Asian patients commonly experience aging in the nasolabial region (between the nose and mouth). Lines and folds form, creating the look of parentheses. Mid-facelift surgery addresses this by lifting the underlying tissues and smoothing the skin.
Loss of collagen and elastin in the mid-face and around the mouth causes the skin to loosen and fat to collect at the jawline. Jowls can create the appearance of frowning and alter your facial contour.
Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a candidate for a facelift?
Candidates for a mid-facelift experience dissatisfaction and insecurities from the aging of their mid-face. Facelift surgery can benefit patients who are noticing a deepening of the lines between the nose and mouth. Facelift candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations of their results.
What facelift technique is best for Asian patients?
Although Asian patients do not experience the same level of aging on the lower face and neck as Caucasian patients, some may benefit from a lower facelift in combination with a mid-facelift. This combination allows Asian patients to achieve full facial rejuvenation.
Will a facelift address my forehead wrinkles and drooping eyebrows?
Facelift surgery focuses on aging in the middle and lower portions of the face; it does not address the forehead and brows. Patients with wrinkles across their forehead, lines between their eyebrows (furrows), and sagging eyebrows that hang over their eyes can benefit from combining their facelift with a forehead lift (brow lift).
What are the potential complications associated with facelift surgery?
This surgery is considered a safe and reliable way to improve the youthfulness of your face. While rare, complications and side effects are possible. These risks include:
- Adverse reactions to anesthesia
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Poor wound healing
- Scarring
- Asymmetry
- Changes in skin sensation
Will my results be permanent?
While the results of a mid-facelift are designed to be long lasting, they will not stop the natural aging process. Your appearance will, however, always be more youthful than if you did not have surgery.
How can I prolong the results of my facelift?
Implementing a consistent skincare routine, protecting your skin from the sun, staying hydrated, and maintaining a healthy diet are steps you can take to maintain the results of your facelift.
