Facelift Humble, TX

Many people think of a facelift as a procedure that treats the entire face. However, it’s designed specifically for the lower half of the face, including the jawline. A facelift may be combined with other procedures to treat other areas. The goal of this surgery is to tighten loose skin, which will help reduce wrinkles and sagging skin. You will meet with a surgeon in a consultation where you will decide what work needs to be done.

During the surgery, the surgeon will make an incision either along your hairline or around the ear in front or behind, depending on what was decided during the consultation. Excess tissue and skin are removed, and the skin is stitched into place. This procedure is often performed in an outpatient setting under general and local anesthesia or sedation.

You can expect to experience some swelling and bruising, which will disappear after a few weeks. Many patients find they have minimal discomfort that is relieved by over-the-counter pain medication. You’ll begin to notice the improvement in appearance in about six weeks.

The primary benefit of having a facelift is that it reduces the appearance of wrinkles. You’ll look younger and have less sagging skin. You may look more awake and youthful. Results are permanent, which often enhances the appeal.
