Why get a Facelift? Restoring Youthfulness Is a Facelift Right for you? Types of Facelifts Preparing for Downtime What to Expect

Why Get a Facelift?

If you seek effective, long-term facial rejuvenation, a facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, may be right for you. This procedure works deep beneath the skin, creating a more youthful appearance that can last for years. Often combined with other aesthetic procedures or non-surgical treatments, Dr. Morgenstern is an experienced oculofacial plastic surgeon and can help you determine if a facelift aligns with your cosmetic wishes.

How a Facelift Restores Youthfulness

Facelifts provide dramatic, natural-looking results by tightening tissue beneath the skin and removing loose, excess skin and fat. This procedure firms and smooths the skin while defining facial contours and has been shown to make patients look several years younger for an extended period. Although it cannot stop the aging process, a facelift restores a more youthful appearance and reduces the extent of future sagging and wrinkles. Facelift surgery may be a good option if you are experiencing the following concerns:

Wrinkles, lines, and folds on your face
Sagging or drooping skin
Loss of more youthful facial characteristics
Jowls along your jawline
Descended fat pads on your cheeks
Double chin from drooping skin
Sagging facial skin in the lower part of your face

Choosing to Invest in Your Confidence and Wellbeing

While facelift surgery involves a monetary cost, the non-economic value of increased confidence and improved quality of life is significant. Our goal is to help you feel confident, attractive, and youthful. Dr. Morgenstern and our team are committed to providing the outstanding results you envision, supported by our state-of-the-art facilities in Wayne, PA, and Lancaster, PA.

Types of Facelift Surgery

At our Lancaster and Wayne, PA locations, we offer three main types of facelift surgery. Each technique offers unique benefits. Dr. Morgenstern will help you determine which approach is best suited for your specific concerns so you achieve your desired aesthetic results. Our focus is on providing personalized care and delivering results that enhance your natural beauty.

Short-Scar Facelift

The Short-Scar Facelift, also known as a mini-facelift, involves minimal incisions, making it a less invasive option with a shorter recovery time. This procedure focuses on removing jowls and tightening the chin and jawline, providing a subtle yet effective enhancement.

Benefits:

Minimal scarring: Smaller incisions result in less visible scars.
Shorter recovery time: Quicker healing compared to traditional facelifts.
Improved jawline: Tightens and defines the chin and jaw area.
Natural results: Achieves subtle rejuvenation that looks natural.

S-Lift

The S-Lift facelift extends incisions down the neck, allowing for more comprehensive tightening of the neck skin. This technique is particularly effective for removing "turkey wattle" or reducing a double chin, offering noticeable improvements to the lower face and neck.

The benefits of this technique include the following:

Enhanced neck tightening: Addresses excess neck skin more effectively.
Consistent lower face results: Improves the appearance of the neck and lower face.
Minimal invasiveness: Provides significant results with limited incisions.
Quick recovery: Faster healing process compared to more extensive procedures.

Deep Plane Facelift

The Deep Plane Facelift is a more advanced technique that tightens several layers of skin and facial muscle. This procedure provides transformative and long-lasting results, preserving a natural look while offering comprehensive rejuvenation of the entire face.

This procedure offers the following benefits:

Long-lasting results: Effects last longer due to the deeper level of correction.
Comprehensive rejuvenation: Smooths and tightens the whole face, not just the lower part.
Natural appearance: Maintains facial expressiveness while enhancing youthfulness.
Hidden incisions: Incisions are strategically placed beneath the hairline for discreet healing.

Preparing for Downtime After Surgery

Our staff will provide detailed instructions for a successful recovery, which typically includes the following:

Keeping your head elevated to reduce swelling and bruising
Avoiding strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for the first few weeks
Refraining from washing your hair or face until cleared by your surgeon
Avoiding alcohol and smoking, which delay healing

You will receive pain medication prescriptions in advance, and our staff will ensure you have no unanswered questions about your recovery.

What to Expect After Your Facelift

Patients are usually released on the same day as their surgery. Recovery experiences vary depending on the type of facelift performed. You will need someone to drive you home and assist you for at least 24 hours post-surgery.

Prepare your home for recovery with pillows, blankets, and entertainment. Expect swelling for the first 24 to 48 hours, which will gradually decrease over the next few weeks. Most patients see a significant improvement within six weeks, with full results appearing over several months to a year.
