Facelift Refreshens and Rejuvenates In Raleigh, North Carolina*

This is a 69-year-old woman who felt that her face was giving away her age. She felt quite youthful but noticed that her neck was sagging and her jowls were sagging. She was hopeful to have improvements without looking as if she had had major surgery. She underwent a full facelift and some CO2 lasering to her face. Her scars faded very nicely and were almost imperceptible. She had a refreshed, rejuvenated look and did not feel overdone. She was very pleased with the natural outcome. Most patients who request facelift are concerned primarily with their neck and their jawline. Primary improvements in these locations occur in most facelifts.. Lines around the mouth and eyes are not usually effected with facelift and have to have other treatments. Fine-line wrinkles of the face are also not treated and often have to be improved upon with resurfacing technologies like CO2 lasering Facelift recovery is generally about 2 weeks before being acceptable when going to the grocery store and 4-6 weeks before being comfortable in a social setting.
