What are Facelift Before and After Images?

A facelift ‘before and after images’ refer to a set of photographs pertaining to a previous patient who has undergone a facelift procedure. The set includes photographs taken prior to the surgery and at different stages after the surgery. These images can serve as an effective visual aid to help a new patient understand the facelift procedure clearly and make an informed decision about treatment.

Before and after pictures are taken discreetly and with the consent of the patient. The plastic surgeon will use these pictures during the initial consultation, and the only goal is to use these photos to educate a new patient about facelift. See Facelift Before and After Photos

Benefits

A new patient may have only a vague idea of facelift surgery, and it can be difficult to explain the real effectiveness of the procedure in words. This is where before and after photos can play a key role and show visual results of the procedure. Some patients may be unsure whether to choose a facelift, a mini facelift or a procedure for the upper face only such as eyelid lift or brow lift. In some cases, the surgeon may recommend a facelift combined with a neck lift surgery.

Dr. V makes sure that her patients in and around Chantilly, Northern Virginia, Loudoun County, Fairfax, Prince William, Fauquier, Arlington, Middleburg, Leesburg, Manassas, and Warrenton are able to make informed choices using before and after photos of the procedure.

Expectations from a Facelift Surgery

In any cosmetic surgery procedure, it is very important for a patient to know clearly what the procedure can or cannot do for them. Despite the best explanations of the plastic surgeon, a patient may sometimes misinterpret the aesthetic goals that can be achieved with a certain procedure.

This scenario can be avoided with the help of facelift before and after photos. Most surgeons use these pictures to ensure that the patient forms realistic expectations from the facelift procedure in order to achieve satisfactory results.

What is a Facelift?

A facelift take several years off the face of a patient and provide a more youthful and rejuvenated facial appearance. The procedure may sometimes be combined with neck lift to achieve more consistent results. The surgery primarily deals with the lower face and mid face.

Factors Impacting the Cost of Facelift

The cost of facelift surgery may vary from one area to another as well as from one practice to another even within the same area. The cost is a combination of various components, each of which may be influenced by a number of factors. Here are some of the key factors that can affect the overall cost of facelift:

Location of the Practice

The cost of facelift at a practice located in Loudoun County, Fairfax County, Prince William County, Fauquier County, or Arlington County in Northern Virginia is likely to differ from the cost of the same procedure in Orlando, FL. This happens because the average cost of living may vary between two states or even two cities in the same state. The cost of all kinds of products and services, including plastic surgery services will be influenced by the overall cost of living in a particular area.

Surgeon’s Fee

The skills, experience and reputation of the plastic surgeon can make a difference to the fee charged by that surgeon. Surgeons who are more in demand for a particular procedure may be short of time and may charge a higher fee. For instance, Dr. V is a board certified specialist in facial plastic surgery, which makes her an authority in the area of facelift procedure. Patients in Middleburg, Leesburg, Fairfax, Manassas, Warrenton, Arlington, and nearby areas may prefer to receive a facelift from Dr. V rather than go elsewhere.

Surgical Facility and Anesthesia Costs

The costs of the operating facility where the facelift procedure is performed can also make a difference to the overall cost of procedure. A state of the art facility equipped with the latest technologies and equipment, backed by an experienced support staff team, and offering high quality comforts and services may cost slightly more than an average operating facility. Facelift is usually performed under general anesthesia, and the cost of the anesthesiologist and their team will also make an impact to the overall cost of the procedure.

Other Costs

Patients who are considering facelift surgery, should also account for other costs of the procedure, such as medical tests, prescription medications, and any additional expenses. It is important to prepare an accurate cost estimate in advance so that there is no difficulty at the time of arranging the payment. With a correct budget estimate, the patient is a position to make an appropriate and informed decision about the choice of procedure.

Average Cost of Facelift

On average, the facelift surgery may cost from $7,000 to $15,000 in most cases, depending on the various factors discussed above. The cost will also differ depending on the extent of surgery involved, complexity of a particular case, and the estimated duration of the procedure. Sometimes a patient may just need a mini facelift procedure, which may cost much lesser than a complete facelift surgery.

The cost may also differ on the basis of the technique used, such as traditional facelift or endoscopic facelift surgery. The procedure is usually performed for aesthetic reasons, and it may not be covered under the patient’s health insurance plan. Patients should consider their financing options well in advance and may also discuss the possibility of financing assistance with the office of the plastic surgeon.

What is a Facelift?

Facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a plastic surgery procedure to reduce the signs of aging, primarily from the midface and lower face. Aging signs may appear more conspicuously on the face due to heredity factors, gravitational forces, environmental exposure, sun damage, medical condition, and natural facial expressions. Skin elasticity also goes down with age due to depletion of natural collagen. Facelift is an effective way to reverse the signs of aging, make the facial skin appear tighter and smoother, and restore youthfulness to the face.

The procedure involves re-contouring the loose skin and muscles, re-positioning the underlying fat and tissue, and restoring volume to the cheeks and mid-face without causing excessive stress to the overlying skin. A typical facelift can take several years off the patient’s face. The goal is to meet the patient’s needs and expectations from the procedure without compromising safety and customizing the treatment in accordance with the unique facial features and anatomy of the patient.

Facelift Techniques

With advancements in cosmetic surgery, a number of innovative approaches to facelift and neck lift surgery are available today. However, the traditional facelift procedure still continues to be preferred by many surgeons. An experienced plastic surgeon will choose the technique that is most suited to meet the patient’s needs and facial condition.

Traditional Technique: The traditional or standard facelift technique is designed to treat the lower two-third portion of the face as well as the neck. It involves removal of excess fat and skin, tightening the loose muscles, and re-draping the skin on the face smoothly. This procedure can be used to correct conditions such as sagging skin, excess fat pockets, droopy jowls, lines beneath lower eyelids, tired or old looking mid-face, lines around the mouth and double chin.

Endoscopic Technique: This facelift procedure involves the use of a miniature camera that is inserted underneath the skin to help identify problem areas and perform corrective surgery. The technique is minimally invasive to ensure that the recovery period is shorter, surgical risk is reduced and scars are negligible. Tiny incisions are made in this technique to help lift the upper face and cheeks. This technique can help improve conditions such as droopy brows, loose skin over cheeks, frown lines, sagging mid-face and jowls, and lines around the mouth.

Facelift is essentially a facial plastic surgery of the mid-face, lower face, and may also include the neck. However, conspicuous signs of aging in the upper face may not be corrected by any facelift technique. To ensure overall facial harmony, the plastic surgeon may recommend combining of facelift with other procedures such as forehead lift, eyelid surgery, brow lift, and minimally invasive treatments such as Botox or laser skin rejuvenation.

Procedure

Facelift is usually performed under local anesthesia. The surgeon will begin the procedure by making an incision along the hairline or natural creases or folds on the face to hide the scars. Through the incision, the surgeon will remove a certain amount of excess tissue and fat. Multiple small incisions may be made to remove fat and loose skin from the chin and neck to enhance the overall facial contour. The overlying skin will be smoothed and re-draped on the face and the incisions will be closed.

The patient will have the face bandaged after the surgery and it may take a day or two before the dressings can be removed. Stitches will be removed in about a week. Pain relieving medication may be prescribed for the first few days. Cold compresses can be used to provide relief from swelling and bruising. Most patients can resume their normal activities within two to three weeks following the surgery.
