Am I a Good Candidate for a Facelift?

If you’re thinking about a facelift, come see us. A consultation with Dr. Mussat, a talented facial rejuvenation surgeon, can help you determine if surgery is right for you. You may be a good candidate for a facelift if you have:
• Sagging throughout the middle of the face
• Creases beneath the lower eyes
• Creases extending from the nose to the outer corners of the mouth
• Loss of facial volume
• Shifting fat deposits
• Jowls
• Loose skin under the chin and/or on the neck
There is no set age for a facelift, but typically patients are in their 40s, 40s, or 60s. If you have significant facial aging and are in good health, you’re likely a good candidate.

What Happens During a Facelift?

Your facelift surgery will be customized to you and designed to target your problem areas. Your facial anatomy and skin health, along with the extent of your facial aging will determine what approach Dr. Mussat will use for your surgery. We’ll discuss the specifics of your surgical plan during your consultation.
All facelift surgeries are performed using general anesthesia in our surgical center. Incisions are made, typically within the hairline. Dr. Mussat tightens and repositions facial muscles, holding them in place with permanent, internal sutures. Excess facial skin is removed and the skin is pulled taut. The incisions are closed and the recovery process begins. Dr. Mussat performs the SMAS facelift (traditional facelift), the deep plane facelift, and the mini-facelift.

What Results Can I Expect from My Facelift?

A facelift can really turn back the clock on your appearance Many patients report looking 5-10 years younger after surgery. These results will last and last. Although you’ll continue to age, you’ll generally look younger than you would have without your facelift, even decades later. It’s like a reset for your appearance.
