Delray Beach Facelift doctors

A facelift will do nothing for your eyelids. A facelift addressed the area from your cheeks to jawline, and in our practice always includes the neck (the incisions for face or neck are essentially the same, so why not address both with one surgery?). Eyelids can be addressed through eyelid surgery, and may also benefit from a browlift. When a browlift is indicated, an endoscopic, anterior hairline or traditional approach are all excellen options. These options need to be evaluated and discussed in person.

In some ways your question is a very advanced question that signifies a deep understanding of how the human mind percevies age.  The human mind perceives age based upon the overal shape of the face. Shaping the face is the general goal for the majority of facial rejuvenation procedures and is how a facial plastic surgeon can achieve natural effective results.

However, a facelift is absolutely NOT the right procedure for a 30 year old in order to do this.  The goal of a facelift is to improve the jawline and the neck to get rid of that square appearance to the face. This generally occurs in the mid to later 40s and later.  In the 30's the general loss of facial shape, if it exists, occurs from mid-face ptosis (cheeks sagging) or more commonly volume loss in the face.  In these instances a mid-face lift or more facial fillers (restylane, radiesse, fat grafting) may be a better solution for you.

The recovery from a facelift is generally much easier then most people expect.  Most patient describe several days of ahving the feeling of discomfort/tightness especially in the area around the neck. That being said, intense pain is not common and is something that if you experience you should let your surgeon know about immediately. It can be a sign of a complication such as a hematoma. Again, this is the exception not the rule.
