Dallas Facelift Surgery

Facelift surgery can restore youthful beauty to an aging face. An experienced facial rejuvenation surgeon such as Dr. Deuber can lift and tighten the face, targeting the sagging areas that lend an aged, tired appearance to otherwise attractive features. Facelift surgery is often performed in conjunction with a brow lift or blepharoplasty.

The Facelift Procedure

At the Dallas, Texas cosmetic surgery practice of Dr. Deuber, all facelift incisions are hidden behind the hairline. During the facelift surgery procedure, Dr. Deuber pulls back the facial skin and trims away excess tissue. He also tightens facial muscles for a firmer and more attractive facial contour, being careful to achieve a natural appearance for his patient. The facial skin is temporarily held in place by stitches or staples until it heals in its new position. Immediately after surgery, Dr. Deuber loosely bandages the treated area. Pain medication will be given to the patient to eliminate any discomfort that he or she may feel after surgery.

Recovery After Facelift

During the recovery period, facelift patients may experience swelling, numbness, and skin discoloration. Within two weeks after surgery, all of these side effects will subside. The head should be kept elevated and immobile for the first few days after surgery to speed the recovery process. Approximately one week after facelift surgery, the patient revisits our Dallas, Texas practice for a follow-up appointment. Dr. Deuber checks on the patient’s progress, removes stitches, and discusses when the patient may return to work.
