Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Is 40 Too Young for a Facelift?
40 years old is not too young for a facelift
Jun 19, 2018
Everybody ages differently. It's not so much the age that is a factor, but the individuals own aging process which can be affected by many environmental factors such as weight loss, health history, smoking history etc. If you have facial laxity and drooping skin then you are most likely a candidate for a facelift. Regardless of where you are in your aging process, a facelift will always improve the perception of more youthfulness. As always, consult with your board certified plastic surgeon...
How Long Until Swelling Is 100% Gone After Face Lift?
Generally 3 months, most of the swelling should have dissipated
Jun 19, 2018
Generally speaking, most of the swelling should dissipate within a three month timeline. However, depending on the individual, and depending on how much your surgeon addressed the deeper tissues of your face sometimes the swelling make take longer to go down.
Facelift for Younger People to Make Face Slimmer and Narrow
a facelift is not the answer
Jun 19, 2018
For a 25 year old seeking to alter their facial structure and shape, a facelift is not an option. Without pictures of your face, it's difficult to give suggestions to address the areas of concern. If there is excess fat or a "double chin," kybella might be a non surgical option to help eliminate some of that fat and give you a more defined jaw line. You might also consider filler such as voluma in your chin to elongate your face and give it a more balanced proportion.
Facelift Surgery Before and After Photos
consistent pictures and natural
Jun 19, 2018
Before and After pictures are a good indicator of a plastic surgeons level of skill and experience. Make sure that your doctors is always board certified in plastic surgery. Look for photos that the resolution is high and the angle and lighting are consistent. A good facelift will look natural and not a windblown look.
How is a Face Lift Different Than a Mini-face Lift or Midface Lift?
A face lift which includes a neck lift, as a general rule...
Jun 19, 2018
A face lift which includes a neck lift, as a general rule subtracts 10 years from an individuals age. The area improved most dramatically is the jaw line and the neck area. The deeper layers are tightened and excess skin is tightened; incisions are then placed within the natural lines or creases of the face.
A mini lift is a minimal result. A mini lift would affect the same areas of the face but to a lesser degree. Also it is not a deep plane facelift, the muscles are not...
How Long Does a Facelift Last?
a facelift will always improve your age, however, aging is a constant process
Jun 18, 2018
A well performed surgical facelift will improve your appearance and give you a more youthful look. However, aging is dynamic and undergoing a facelift does not stop the process from continuing. The results of a facelift are also differing individual to individual depending on your own skin laxity, sun damage, genetics, change in weight, smoking, etc. However, if a facelift decreases the appearance of age by 10 years, you will always look 10 years younger than if you...
Is a Facelift the Only Answer for Marionette Lines and Jowls?
facelift is the best option to address these concerns
Jun 18, 2018
A facelift would address the marionette lines and sagging jowls that are concerning you. Sometimes the nasolabial fold or other facial folds can be improved with filler, however, this is not a permanent result and the effects would be much less dramatic than choosing to undergo the option of a facelift. It would just depend upon your willingness to accept less significant results in order to avoid a surgical procedure. As always, consult with your board certified plastic surgeon.
Best Procedure for Firming Neck and Chin?
A lower facelift would address your concerns
Jun 18, 2018
A lower facelift would specifically address some of the concerns you have about your neck and chin/jowl area. If you are only concerned with the neck area, you might also consider just a neck lift. Depending upon your specific concerns regarding your chin, you might consult for a chin augmentation/chin implant. Voluma (a Juvederm product) is also a non permanent solution to give you a non surgical option as well. As always consult with your board certified plastic surgeon.
Breast Augmentation Recovery: What Can I Expect?
You should be able to return to work with little to no downtime
May 29, 2018
Great question! Breast Implant under the muscle is a relatively easy surgery to bounce back from. As long as you are off narcotics, you can be back to driving within a few days. You can return to work within 3-4 days with the exception of a more physical job that requires lifting. While you are prescribed narcotics to help with the pain following surgery, I have had patients that do not feel the need to take it. In regard to your scars, the flattening and fading of scars will start...
Does Sucking and Pressing the Breast Increase the Size?
Any effects would be temporary
May 29, 2018
No sucking and pressing of the breast would lead to a long term permanent result to increase the size of your breast. There is a system called BRAVA that causes swelling in the breast tissue but without a fat transfer this result is temporary. If you are looking for an increase in cup size, a breast augmentation would probably be your best bet. As always, consult with your board certified plastic surgeon.
Signs of Capsular Contracture After Breast Augmentation?
Capsular contracture
May 29, 2018
When Capsular Contracture happens on an implant there is usually a displacement where the implant can appear higher on the chest. There is a hardening of the tissue around the implant and sometimes, pain or asymmetry. This can be diagnosed in person with your plastic surgeon, however the degree of capsular contracture that is occurring wouldn't be able to be truly diagnosed until the implant is removed and the implant pocket is inspected.
Facial Microcurrent: Do They Work Like a Facelift?
No definitive answer since there is not a lot of scientific evidence to support this procedure
May 29, 2018
You should be able to do this procedure right away, however there are not a lot of studies supporting this procedure and from my experience have not seen a high satisfaction rate from patients who have opted to try this procedure. As always, consult with your board certified plastic surgeon.
Facelift Recovery
I would recommend 1-2 weeks before any important social engagements.
May 29, 2018
It really depends upon you as an individual. If you did not receive a blepharoplasty(eyelid surgery) then the bruising is much less significant. However, everybody is different and some individuals will have more bruising than others so to be on the safe side, I would suggest not scheduling any important social engagements before the 1-2 week timeline. Most of the bruising and swelling should go down within 7-10 days. As always consult with your board certified plastic...
Effective and Long-lasting Procedure for Lifting Jowls?
Lower face and neck lift.
May 29, 2018
To correct jowls and a marionette line, a lower face and neck lift is your best option. From your pictures you would be an excellent candidate for this procedure. This is the only way to attain permanent results, filler is temporary. Sometimes filler can help camouflage the marionette line, however it will not actually help "lift" your face. As always consult with your board certified plastic surgeon.
Will Electric Stimulation Machines Help Firm Facial Muscles?
No, in fact it might make your wrinkles worse.
May 29, 2018
Any use of an at home electric stimulation will give you temporary effects if any at all. It would not be effective towards the effects of "lifting" your face. In fact, it might even make your wrinkles worse, because when you flex your muscles then you make the skin move and you create a crack. For example if you never smile then you never get smile lines. If you never frown then you never get frown lines. Also, affecting the muscle will not help you with any loose skin.
