Facelift

The natural effects of time, genetics, lifestyle, gravity, and the environment can become visible as we age. Such factors can lead to sagging skin, deep creases, and a loss of youthful contour in the cheeks and neck. If you want to restore your youthful appearance and feel more confident in your skin, a facelift with Dr. Justin B. Cohen offers a transformative solution.

Every facelift starts with a personalized client meeting. Using your goals and vision, Dr. Cohen will draft a surgery plan to address the target areas you have specified. During the procedure, Dr. Cohen will carefully lift and tighten the underlying facial muscles, remove excess skin, restore volume, and reposition tissues to create the changes you want to see. Dr. Cohen’s advanced techniques focus on achieving a rejuvenated look while maintaining natural facial expressions.

Planning Your Big Day

On the day of your surgery, the procedure will be performed under general anesthesia. The procedure typically takes 4 to 6 hours. The process will be discussed with the doctor as each patient is different. For more involved surgeries, plan for some time off from work or other activities. The doctor will tell you about the expected timeframe during your consultation.

Sit Back, Relax, and Recover

Recovery from a facelift is a gradual process, and giving your body the time it needs to heal is essential. Most patients experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the first few days, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication and proper post-operative care. You’ll be advised to keep your head elevated and avoid strenuous activities for the first few weeks. Within 10 to 14 days, most visible signs of surgery will begin to subside, and you’ll feel more comfortable returning to social activities or light work.

FAQ Facelift

How long do the results of a facelift last?

The results of a facelift can last 10 to 15 years, depending on factors like your skin type, lifestyle, and how well you care for your skin post-surgery. While a facelift can’t stop the aging process, it can set the clock back significantly.

Will there be visible scars?

Dr. Cohen takes great care to minimize scarring by placing incisions in natural skin creases and behind the ears. Over time, these scars typically fade and become nearly invisible.

Can a facelift be combined with other procedures?

Many patients combine a facelift with other procedures like a neck lift, fat grafting, chemical peels, laser treatments to the skin, or eyelid surgery for a more comprehensive degree of facial rejuvenation. Dr. Cohen will discuss your options during your consultation.

How soon can I return to work?

Most patients feel comfortable returning to work and light activities within 2 to 3 weeks after surgery. However, following Dr. Cohen’s specific recovery guidelines is important to ensure the best results.
