Are the changes in definition equal across the face with a facelift? Will certain areas be relatively unaffected by the lift?
When most people use the term Facelift they are referring to a lower facelift. With that surgery, the vast amount of improvement will be in the neck, the jowls (lower cheek tissue) and the marrionette lines. You may see some improvement in the the nasolabial lines and upper cheeks but that is more variable. A midface ift and brow lift will give more improvement to their respective areas. Add on procedures can be done at the same time as a facelift to tailor your surgery further and address any particular problems. Good luck!
How long will it take for the initial bruising to fade?
Everybody is different. It is amazing how different people recover after similar surgeries. This morning I saw someone completely bruise free one week after her facelift while later I saw someone at 3 weeks with a little residual bruising. In general, I tell my patients between 1-3 weeks. If they tend to bruise easily with injections or minor trauma then count on longer. If they don't bruise easily, count on less time. Good luck!
