Concerns
Recovery
Patients will stay at a post-operative facility for one to two days for adequate monitoring. Drains are removed on the second day, and patients may shower and wash their hair with the help of a trained nurse. During the first post-op appointment one week into recovery, Dr. Calabria removes some of the sutures and provides further aftercare instructions. By the second week, the rest of the sutures are removed, and light exercise is encouraged. Full recovery takes about one month. Recovery is less extensive for minimally invasive procedures such as the one-stitch facelift, non-surgical facelift, and male facelift.
Scars
Dr. Calabria is careful to place only the necessary amount of tension to his patients’ facelift incisions to ensure optimal healing and results. His meticulous techniques produce inconspicuous scars that are likely to fade over time. The non-surgical facelift does not result in any scarring.
Cost?
The cost of a facelift depends on the extent of your correction required, the techniques used, anesthesia fees, geographical location, and surgical fees. Dr. Calabria will provide you with an accurate cost estimate during your consultation.
Pain
Patients may experience some discomfort after a facelift. Any excessive pain should be treated with the appropriate medications as prescribed by Dr. Calabria.
Frequently Asked Questions
Facelift results are long lasting, and patients can expect to appear permanently 10 to 15 years younger than their actual age.
You will see a noticeable improvement in your facial contours and skin quality once the swelling subsides, which may take up to one month. Patients who opt for a stem cell facelift can expect to experience continued improvement for several weeks or months after surgery.
Dr. Calabria commonly performs endoscopic brow lifts in conjunction with a facelift to ensure the face remains balanced and well proportioned. An eyelid lift may also combine well with a facelift to remove wrinkles and crow’s feet from around the eyes.
There is no age restriction on a facelift procedure. People who usually achieve the most dramatic results from cosmetic surgery tend to be in their 40s through their 60s. Facelift surgery on younger patients can be effective to lessen or postpone the development of wrinkles and sagging skin, but the results are not as dramatic, since there is not as much visible age.
The stem cells that are extracted from the patient’s excess fat promote neo-angiogenesis, which aids in the creation of new blood vessels. They also secrete growth factors that replenish and rejuvenate the skin long after surgery.
Dr. Calabria uses liposuction to harvest the fat from areas of the patient’s body that have excess fat. Common problem areas that tend to carry excess fat are:
- Abdomen
- Flanks
- Thighs
- Back
