FACE LIFT

Facelift Surgery Specialists in Naples FL

Naples plastic surgeons, Dr. Paul Gardner, Dr. Mark Walsh, and Dr. Andrew Bonett, lend their outstanding skills and artistry to facelift surgery. This surgical procedure treats sagging skin and fine lines to help patients achieve a more youthful-looking appearance. Under our cosmetic surgeons’ compassionate care, patients often look years younger and more refreshed and rejuvenated.

Sun damage, genetics and skin elasticity all play a significant role in how a person ages. In many instances, patients develop sagging skin and wrinkles despite feeling young and energetic. In order to have their appearances match their inner vitality, many seek the services of Dr. Paul Gardner, Dr. Mark Walsh, and Dr. Andrew Bonett. Our surgeons are facelift experts who perform the procedure with a refined artistry to achieve beautiful results that give a natural, refreshed appearance.

One of my favorite procedures to do is facelifts. Facelifts, to me, are the ultimate in achieving the balance between surgery and art because we’re taking a patient’s face, the thing that they present in public every day, and we’re not changing it but we’re working on it to make it look like it once did.

Full facelifts involve moving the mid-face, this part of the face. When a surgeon talks about doing a facelift, they’re really talking about elevating the tissues that have drooped over time, basically the aging process goes this way, and restoring those facial tissues back to where they once were when the patient was younger.

So, a facelift isn’t about tightening the skin or overly stretched, although that look is out there, and I don’t like that look at all. We try to give the patient a refreshed, natural, lifted back to where they once were maybe ten or twenty years earlier, and give them very beautiful and natural results. In fact, the biggest compliment I get from my patients is when they come back and say, “You know, nobody has really said to me ‘What did you do to your face?’ They say, ‘Did you lose weight? Did you change your hair? You look different, but you look great.’”

And they don’t know that they had plastic surgery. To me that’s the highest compliment.

Facelift Surgery in Naples

At Naples Plastic Surgery each patient will experience a one-on-one consultation with one of Naples best facelift surgeons to determine the patient’s aesthetic goals. Our surgeons then develop a personalized treatment plan designed to help the patient achieve their goals.

During the procedure, your surgeon will begin every surgery by carefully concealing incisions in front of and behind the ears. Next, your surgeon will gently tighten loose skin and extract excess tissue if necessary. In some instances, your surgeon may suggest patients combine a facelift and neck lift surgery with liposuction to remove fat tissues along the jawline, and within the neck to help patients lose the “double chin” appearance.

Your surgeon may also suggest other facelift techniques, such as endoscopic facelift or mini facelift surgery. These techniques treat minor to moderate signs of aging and a mini facelift can offer patients the advantage of shortened recovery periods.

Recovering from Facelift Surgery

After a face lift, the patient has a large, fluffy dressing wrap to minimize swelling and encourage faster recovery periods. Two weeks of recovery is suggested before engaging in social activities, however full recovery is expected four to six weeks after surgery when all swelling is gone.

As with any surgical procedure, there is risk for complications, including infection. Dr. Gardner, Dr. Walsh, and Dr. Bonett always review these risks with each patient prior to surgery. Personalized care is top priority in the state-of-the-art surgical facility. You can also choose to spend the night in recovery and receive individualized care from an overnight nurse.
