Facelifts in Richmond, VA
Many individuals desire to look younger as the years go by, as skin does not maintain its elasticity as we age. Plastic surgery has continuously provided the treatments needed to restore a youthful appearance. At Stanwix Plastic Surgery, Dr. Matthew Stanwix provides patients with facelift surgery to enhance a person’s aesthetics and confidence.
Throughout our lives, stress, the sun’s radiation, lack of proper care to the skin, genetics and other factors can cause the skin to sag around the face and neck. These areas, particularly around the jaw line, are the main areas individuals see the most as signs of aging. Some causes can also be just the underlying muscle relaxing due to age as well. A facelift by our Dr. Stanwix allows patients to see themselves for who they wish to be. Some other reasons to consider a facelift are:
When considering plastic surgery, it’s important to thoroughly discuss with Dr. Stanwix if this is the best treatment for your specific needs. Many times, facelifts come recommended with other procedures that combat wrinkles and fine lines.
Dr. Stanwix begins every consultation with an in depth study of your face and discusses your concerns with the areas needed to be treated. As an Ivy league educated, Johns Hopkins trained, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, he has the expertise in the latest techniques to minimize scarring, ensure symmetry, and deliver long lasting results.
Once it is decided that a facelift is the best cosmetic method for your needs and goals, the concierge team at Stanwix Plastic Surgery schedule the surgery and be with you every step of the way. Done under sleepy or general anesthesia, our Dr. Stanwix begins the facelift using small incisions at the front hidden contour of the ear to the back side. This will create a more aesthetically pleasing look, and reduce risk of scarring. He realigns the face and neck by removing any excess skin. In some cases, liposuction can be used to remove excess fat deposits that have developed or add fat (fat transfer) to volume depleted areas for facial harmony.
Recovery can be very quick, as most patients return to normal activities after one to two weeks. Be aware that there will be bruising and swelling two days after the procedures, but these symptoms should subside after 10 to 14 days.
