Life-Changing Results
Facelift in Newport Beach and Orange County
Over time, the natural effects of aging and gravity can leave individuals feeling less satisfied with their appearance, especially if they’re struggling with premature aging. A facelift can turn back the clock and rejuvenate your appearance by reducing sagging and wrinkles. At Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery, we strive to deliver the best facial rejuvenation results Newport Beach has to offer.
Newport Beach and Orange County Facelift Procedures – How Are They Done?
What Is a Facelift?
A facelift is a surgical procedure for facial rejuvenation that can take years off of your appearance by addressing midface volume loss, jowls, sagging, wrinkles, and folds. As skin loses elasticity with time and age, it begins to droop. A facelift, known medically as rhytidectomy, can lift, smooth, and tighten facial tissues.
Facelift techniques continue to advance, and our board-certified surgeons have decades of combined experience helping patients achieve a refreshed appearance. Our doctors also offer a less-invasive facelift that they pioneered and perfected for lasting results, called the LiteLift®.
The LiteLift® not only repositions and smooths your skin but lifts the underlying layer of facial solid supporting tissue that covers the deeper structures of the face and neck. This facelift Newport Beach technique produces more natural-looking and longer-lasting results than “skin-only” facelifts. With more advanced facial rejuvenation techniques and minimal scars, about 40% less than a traditional facelift, LiteLift® offers a faster recovery than conventional methods.
The long-term results of a facelift or LiteLift® can save time and money compared to injectable and non-surgical treatments that require multiple sessions and provide temporary results. Our facelift procedures can rejuvenate your appearance for years, helping you look younger for longer.
Depending on your specific cosmetic goals, our board-certified plastic surgeons may combine facelifts with other procedures like an eyelid lift, neck lift, brow lift, or nonsurgical treatments like Botox® and dermal fillers. Our experienced plastic surgeons can meet with you to discuss your options and develop a customized plan that’s best for you and your vision.
Benefits of a Facelift at The Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery
The Pacific Center is a renowned cosmetic surgery clinic that is committed to helping our patients boost their confidence through facial rejuvenation. If you’re noticing changes in your appearance and want to refresh your loo, here are some reasons you must consider us for your facelift.
Long-lasting Results
Ideally, a facelift must last a minimum of ten years. However, a significant factor influencing this timeframe is the cosmetic surgeon’s experience. Facial plastic surgery provides a more youthful appearance, and choosing the right surgeon makes the investment worth it!
We have an abundance of experience in facelifting and other cosmetic surgeries. A facelift essentially lifts the sagging skin in different parts of the face, including eyebrows, laugh lines, eyelids, neck, and different parts of the skin. Our experts know how to deal with the skin sagging that comes with aging and give our patients a youthful appearance that lasts for a long time!
Natural-looking Outcomes
You may have seen that many facial plastic surgery outcomes are unnatural, causing a person to lose their original beauty and facial structure. These unnatural results are enough to discourage anyone from getting a facelift.
We understand this concern. But when you choose us, you can rest assured that you will end up with natural-looking results. Our surgeons focus on facial rejuvenation, making the patient look happier and more active. Their sole focus is to make your upper cheeks look fuller, re-elevate the facial fat, and tighten your neck for a youthful and natural look.
Improved Self-Confidence
Plastic surgery can significantly improves a person’s quality of life. If the person is feeling unconfident about sagging skin, facelift surgery will help them regain their self-confidence and find a new zeal to live their fullest life.
We at the Pacific Center understand the importance of destigmatizing the decision to get a face and neck lift and allowing facelift patients to embrace their choice. We address your facial insecurities and find ways to help restructure facial symmetry. This enhances your self-confidence and makes you feel empowered.
Minimal Scarring and Discreet Incisions
If the idea of scarring and incisions of needles and knives is stopping you from getting reconstructive surgery done, don’t worry. We have a solution for that as well.
We approach every facial surgery with one and only one motto: maximum results and minimum downtime. So you can rest assured that our services will not scar your face. In fact, if you get a mini facelift done by our experts, you can resume your daily routine in no time.
Facelift Basics
If you are new to facial plastic surgery and have never had anything done on your face, you are bound to have some doubts and confusion. In the section below, we discuss two types of facelifts that are common among patients.
Mini-Facelift
Most people know about traditional facelift surgery but have no idea about a mini facelift. A mini facelift is quick, less invasive, and the patient experiences less downtime.
Although a mini facelift procedure is a type of facial surgery, surgeons most often make mini incisions, hence the name “mini.”
It corrects the sagging skin by focusing on the lower part of the face, around the neck, and jawline. However, there are fewer incisions and scarring, and the results are also less drastic. This means that the results look more natural.
However, one needs to remember that the side effects of a mini facelift are similar to those of any cosmetic surgery. The patient may experience bruising, swelling, and a little pain, but these go away quickly.
Deep Plane Facelift
The incisions made in a deep plane facelift are also smaller than those in a traditional facelift. However, the results are significant. A deep plane facelift focuses on skin laxity. So,, it tightens the skin by targeting the deeper layers of facial tissues, including the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system).
This procedure involves repositioning not only the skin but also the underlying muscle and fat, which helps provide a long-lasting and more natural results.
Although the recovery may take several weeks, the results last for years. So, getting a deep plane facelift is worth considering if you are concerned about facial aging.
Steps of a Facelift Procedure
The idea of having multiple incisions on your face may seem daunting. However, at the Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery, we ensure that our patients don’t experience any severe pain or discomfort. Our surgeons are highly qualified and have years of experience in cosmetic surgery. Moreover, before proceeding with the surgery, your surgeon will have a one-on-one consultation with you to understand your expectations and how they need to move forward. On the day of the surgery, here is how our experienced professionals proceed with the facelift procedure:
- The first step of the procedure is to apply anesthesia and other medicines to ensure that the patient doesn’t feel any pain. You can go for intravenous sedation or general anesthesia, depending on what you prefer the most.
- Now, the surgeon will closely analyze your face to determine the most suitable action. First, they can opt for facial implants or fat transfer to improve the contour of the face and make it look fuller and more youthful. Second, they can apply resurfacing techniques to tackle the problem of excess skin and improve texture. Moreover, if your face has too many wrinkles, they may also apply facial fillers to reduce the appearance. The techniques that will be applied are always discussed during the consultation.
- Depending on the results you are looking for from cosmetic surgery and your problem areas, the surgeon may advise a deep plane facelift, a traditional facelift, a neck lift, or a mini facelift for a more youthful appearance. In a traditional facelift, the incision begins from the hairline, moves through the ears, and ends at the lower scalp. This facial rejuvenation technique is more intense and provides a drastic change. A deep plane facelift, mini facelift, and neck lift are slightly less intense. It addresses the sagging jowls, loose neck, and fat accumulation near the neck. This step is also discussed during the consultation and will proceed only when they have your approval.
- Once the incision is made, it is time to close it. In most cases, the sutures dissolve with time. However, in some rare cases, you may be asked to visit the facility to have them removed. At this point, most patients are worried that the incision will leave a permanent scar on their face. However, facelift patients will be glad to know that the incisions are concealed under the hairline and facial contour, leaving no scars on the face.
- Once the swelling and bruising have subsided, you will be able to see the results of your facelift. You will soon discover your youthful appearance and start feeling more confident again.
Facelift Recovery and Aftercare Tips
Here’s an overview of what you can expect during your healing timeline and tips to help you achieve the best results:
Day 1 and 2:
For the first one to two days after your cosmetic surgery, you must be in complete rest. During this time, there is a significant amount of swelling and bruising. This may make you feel uncomfortable, and resuming your daily activities is not advised. During this time, the cosmetic surgeon will closely monitor your healing process and may adjust the aftercare based on how you are feeling. You will also be advised to move to a post-operation aftercare facility to manage the healing process.
Week 1:
During the first week, it is normal to experience bruising and scarring on the face. This generally subsides after the first week. Remember that although you may feel better during this phase, it is best to avoid physically strenuous activities such as heavy lifting and other activities that may make you sweat a lot.
Week 2 to Week 3:
At weeks two and three, patients will experience a reduction in swelling and bruising, and they can slowly transition to their everyday lives. However, even if you can slowly come back to your normal routine, it is best to seek advice from your surgeon about the restrictions you need to keep in mind. Your surgeon may adjust the aftercare based on the pace of healing. This stage is signified by the slow transition to an independent healing process. But remember that it is best not to get involved in intense activities.
Weeks 4 to 6:
At this stage, visible signs of the surgery slowly disappear. But remember, internal healing is still underway. Hence, the patient needs to be extremely cautious about aftercare. The good news is that they can slowly include some light exercise in their everyday lives to make themselves feel better.
Beyond 6 weeks:
Most patients completely resume their daily routines after 6 weeks. However, the healing process can take several months. At this point, although one may feel that they have completely recovered, it is crucial to be cautious. The patient must go for regular follow-ups to ensure that the pace of healing is moving as expected. Patients must also be diligent about aftercare. For instance, if the surgeon has specifically advised you to follow a skincare routine, you must be consistent with it to ensure long-lasting results.
Facial aging is a natural process. However, we understand that it impacts the quality of life of many individuals. This is why if you are looking for long-lasting facial rejuvenation from your cosmetic surgery, it is advisable to follow the tips mentioned below:
- Don’t use makeup: Refrain from applying makeup to your face, at least for the first few weeks after the surgery. The chemicals in makeup products can lead to potential infection and may aggravate swelling.
- Restrict physical activities: It is best to avoid any kind of physical activity for at least the first six weeks, including lifting heavy weights.
- Don’t smoke or drink: Don’t smoke or drink during the recovery stage. This ensures that the results of the facelift surgery last longer.
- Wear sunscreen: Your doctor will definitely advise you to wear sunscreen above SPF 30. Post-surgery, your skin is sensitive to sunlight, so wearing sunscreen is very important during this time.
