Understanding the Basics of Facelifts in Chicago

by | Dec 22, 2017 | Plastic Surgery

There are many types of cosmetic procedures, also known as plastic surgery, that are available today, and one of the most popular is the facelift.  If you have been wondering whether this procedure is right for you or if you have been considering a facelift, Chicago residents can count on our team of expert surgeons.  We get asked many questions about this procedure, the most common involving these four key areas:

Preparing – when it comes to preparing for your facelift, there are two key things that need to be in line. First is your health, because it is always better to undergo a surgical procedure when you are in the best possible health. Second is your expectations, because if you are expecting miracle results you will likely be disappointed. You need to know what you can expect from your facelift treatment.

Procedure- there are many mini procedures that can make up a facelift treatment. The more areas of the face that are treated the longer the procedure will take, the more involved it will be, the higher the chance is for side effects, and the longer you will need to fully recover. This is why it is best to break up large treatment plans into smaller sessions so you can recover faster and get better results.

Recovery- as mentioned above, the more involved the procedure, the longer recovery will be, and the more likely it will be to have side effects. Usually the side effects include swelling, bruising, tenderness, and skin discoloration- which fades as the weeks pass and the body heals. Severe and rare side effects include bleeding issues, infection, bad scaring, and problems from the anesthesia.

Results- results will vary from person to person so it is important to know what you can expect from any procedure and what results you will see based on your needs and your unique situation.
