You may be a candidate for a facelift if you are a healthy non-smoker who is bothered by changes to your facial muscle tone or skin.

To find out more about facelift and whether this procedure could be right for you, schedule a consultation with Dr. Abeer Sawwaf.

• The surgery will either be performed under IV sedation or general anesthesia.
• First dr. Abeer Sawwaf will form an incision along the crease where your ear meets your face.
• Although depending on the extent of your procedure, your incision may also extend upward or downward along the hairline.
• Then dr. Abeer will thin sculpt and redistribute fat within the face, neck and along the jowl.
• After excess skin will be trimmed away, and the underlying muscles and tissues will be lifted to form a more youthful appearance.

Facelift recovery takes several weeks, during this time it is normal to experience soreness and swelling.

Be sure to take all prescribed medications as instructed, and follow up with Dr. Abeer Sawwaf within 3 to 5 days to ensure that healing is progressing normally.

Though a facelift cannot stop the aging process, it can take many years off your face – especially when paired with brow lifts or eyelid surgery, which help lift and rejuvenate the eyes and brow line.
