Are you tired of looking at sagging skin, jowls, and deep creases on your face? While conservative treatments help, the only way to get dramatic results is through a facelift.
When it comes to a facelift, you have two options – a full or mini procedure. If you're unsure which one is right for you, Dr. Anthony N. Dardano offers his professional opinion.
Dr. Dardano is a board-certified and experienced plastic surgeon who offers a range of facial surgery options to help you achieve a youthful appearance and radiant glow.
A facelift is a surgical procedure that addresses various signs of aging on the face and neck. It requires anesthesia and a recovery period, but offers stunning results that fillers and injectables can't achieve.
During a traditional facelift, incisions are made around the ears, under the chin, and along the hairline. After making the incisions, we carefully separate the skin from the tissues below, which enables us to tighten the muscles in problem areas.
Fat and excess skin removal is the next step in a traditional facelift. We focus on the fat and skin around the neck and jowls.
The next step is to reposition the skin over the face for a natural and youthful appearance. We remove any excess skin that was there before to give you a stunningly tight and flawless appearance.
After finishing these steps, we suture the skin back in place and bandage your face and neck. After healing, you can enjoy significant results, including tightened skin around the face and neck.
Not everyone is quite ready for a complete facelift, especially without significant signs of aging. However, if you want more dramatic results than injectables can give, a mini facelift is a good option.
A mini facelift is a procedure that eliminates mild signs of aging and sagging skin in the lower face and neck. During a mini facelift, we make tiny incisions around the hairline at the lower portion of the face.
After the incisions, we remove excess skin and manipulate the underlying tissues to reduce sagging. We pull the skin upward, which eliminates sagging and jowls.
Removing excess skin around the lower face eliminates wrinkles and sagging, providing a stunning profile and jawline after recovery.
The type of facelift you need depends on your goals, the target areas of treatment, and the level of invasiveness you prefer. Dr. Dardano discusses your goals and gives his recommendations on a full or mini facelift.
You may only need a mini facelift if you have mild to moderate skin sagging around the lower portion of the face. It's also a good option if you're looking for a less invasive option and a faster recovery.
Significant signs of aging on the upper and lower portions of the face get better results from a full facelift. A full facelift addresses the entire face, but the recovery is much longer. However, the results are more dramatic and last longer than a mini facelift.
