Is there any planet on which I could get a facelift and hide it from my spouse? Lol? Looking a bit saggy at almost 48!
Answer: Not if you live together It would be very difficult to hide a facelift from a spouse if you are living in the same place. I feel it is always best to bring a spouse in on your plans to have the support for post op.

Answer: Facelift Inquiry Far more important than the technique is the skill and experience of your plastic surgeon. Choose your surgeon rather than the technique and let them explain why one technique may be better than another. See the below link on some suggestions on finding the most qualified Plastic Surgeon for you. Always insist on a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Keeping facelift a secret There are two separate issues here - first, only you can decide whether it's appropriate on the interpersonal level; second, whether it can be done on "physical evidence" level. In my practice, most patients in a younger age group such as you, can go out in public in 10-14 days without any obvious tell tale signs of undergoing a facelift. Proper preparation prior to surgery, meticulous surgical skills as well as proper after care allow for rather rapid recovery in most patients. Seek out an expert facelift expert for an in person evaluation.

Answer: A Top Secret Facelift can easily be done just with Local Anesthesia in the office This is really an interesting question. Even though I always recommend people are upfront with their significant others, I have had a few patients that do not tell anyone and obviously pay for it with their own funds.This is a personal decision and will be up to you. For most patients, facial cosmetic surgeries can be done in the office under local anesthesia - mini facelift, mid face lift, neck lift, blepharoplasties etc. For example, bilateral upper & lower blepharoplasty, mid face lift, Short Scar facelift and neck lift usually takes me about 90 minutes in the office under local anesthesia. The goal is to have patients looking natural. If people do not go looking for incisions especially in the facelift, they're usually easier to cover. The difficult ones to keep from friends and family that know you and look at your face will be anything involving the lower eyes and mid facelift liftsurgery.I routinely tell people to take a few days to a week off work and to hide out but some people are very nervous especially celebrities and I usually tell them to hide out for two weeks. As with any scar on the human body, initially scars are red, hard and raised and it typically takes six months to a year for them to become a soft thin white line. Additionally with recovery, there're many things we do to expedite healing such as nerve blocks during surgery, oral supplements, skin care and scar therapy recommendations, lymphatic massage sessions that are included in our pricing.I strongly feel that it's very important to have an honest conversation with your surgeon about your particular situation, lifestyle, work environment and specifically which procedures you're having done so that you both have the most honest answer about your recovery and are realistic with expectations and results.I hope this helps and wish you all the best in your surgery and event.

Answer: Quick recovery facelift You have posed a very interesting question of which I have two thoughts. My first thought is that most if not all quick recovery facelift procedures are indicated for early aging of the face, neck, and jowls. More advanced aging generally requires more involved surgery and although the recovery is not in days, you will look relatively normal in under two weeks. A consult with an experienced facelift surgeon will help you with this decision. My second thought is that you probably should be sharing these decisions with your spouse. In my experience, the patients who have consulted with me who have requested anything more than filler and Botox without their spouse being aware of the situation, not necessarily consenting to it, are not as happy as if they have shared their journey with their spouse.
