Beverly Hills Facelift Procedures by Dr. Kevin Brenner

The Aging Face

Faces in their 40′s and 50′s start to show the effects of gravity – more lines, less facial muscle tone and sagging jowls. A good facelift can easily reverse these signs of aging, leaving your face looking refreshed, healthy and younger. It can make you look and feel five to ten years younger. No wonder it’s one of the most popular procedures in plastic surgery.

Many people still believe that facelifts don’t work and that having one makes you look plastic and unnatural. Others think facelifts are only for the rich and famous or that the procedure needs to be repeated, over and over again.

With advances in surgical technique, today’s facelift lasts a long time, anywhere from five to ten years. Many people have repeat procedures with great success. Surgeons have learned how to tighten not only the skin, but the underlying muscle as well, and also know how to remove excess fat from jowls, cheeks, and necks with liposuction.

A basic facelift procedure takes four to five hours. It’s done at a plastic surgery center in Beverly Hills or Newport, under general or local anesthesia. You can expect to be back on your normal schedule in about a week although sun exposure should be limited for several months after surgery. Your new face needs about three weeks to heal fully. Some small scars are unavoidable, but they are normally completely hidden and continue to fade over time.
