Facelift
Facelift Surgery in Bedford, NH
A facelift is a restorative procedure that addresses visible signs of aging in the face and neck. Dr. Steven L. Brown, a board-certified plastic surgeon, performs facelift surgery for patients from Bedford, Manchester, and southern New Hampshire, tailoring each procedure to the patient’s anatomy and goals.
What a Facelift Can Improve
A facelift won’t change your fundamental appearance or stop the aging process, but it can turn back the clock on loss of muscle tone in the lower face, loose skin and fat beneath the chin and jawline, a sagging midface, and deepened nasolabial folds.
About the Procedure
Dr. Brown performs facelift surgery on an outpatient basis under local or general anesthesia, tailoring the incision and surgical approach to each patient’s anatomy and goals. Liposuction is frequently used as part of the procedure, and a facelift is sometimes combined with blepharoplasty for a more complete rejuvenation.
Recovery and Results
Bruising and swelling are most noticeable during the first two weeks, and most patients return to work and social activities in two to three weeks. Results are long-lasting, though it can take several months for swelling to fully resolve and incision lines to mature. Ask us about bioCorneum scar treatment, available for purchase in our office.
Facelift FAQs
How long do facelift results last?
A facelift does not stop aging, but results are long-lasting. Most patients continue to look younger than they otherwise would for many years.
What is the best age for a facelift?
There is no single right age. Candidacy depends on skin quality, facial anatomy, and overall health more than on a number. Dr. Brown will assess this at your consultation.
Where are facelift incisions placed?
Incisions are typically placed within the hairline and around the natural contours of the ear, where they are well concealed once healed.
How long is facelift recovery?
Most patients take two to three weeks before returning to work and social activities. Strenuous exercise is usually restricted for several weeks.
Can a facelift be combined with other procedures?
Yes. A facelift is often combined with a neck lift, eyelid surgery, or fat grafting for a more complete result.
