Introduction
With the effects of time, gravity, and diminishing collagen in our bodies, our faces begin to sag and droop. Even though this is normal, many are interested in reversing the process, making facelift one of the world’s most popular and well-known plastic surgery procedures. The procedure is designed to tighten and lift the face by eliminating excess skin, wrinkles, and fine lines.
If you are interested in receiving a facelift in Philadelphia, schedule a consultation at Subbio Plastic Surgery and Medical Spa. Founded by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Christian Subbio, our practice and team of world-class surgeons specialize in cosmetic and aesthetic procedures—including facelift performed by Dr. Lana Feldman—in Philadelphia.
A facelift, medically known as a Rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgery that involves various procedures that target and rejuvenate facial features. Personalized to meet each client’s aesthetic goals, Dr. Feldman will use her meticulous technique and artistic eye to surgically refine your features and reveal a more youthful-looking version of your natural facial anatomy. Facelift patients not only feel more rejuvenated but also experience an increase in self-esteem.
At Subbio Plastic Surgery and Medical Spa, we offer different types of facelifts. During your initial consultation, we will discuss all available options to determine which best suits your needs.
A mini facelift is a surgical procedure that requires a smaller incision than a traditional facelift and targets the lower half of the face. It is the best option for younger patients with sagging skin and wrinkles in their early phases.
A non-surgical facelift utilizes filler injections and topical applications that are strategically applied and distributed to rejuvenate the face. For a non-surgical facelift, please schedule a consultation with one of our NP Injectors.
Some benefits include:
Patients who opt for a facelift are those who want to look as young as they feel. They do not want to be defined by signs of aging that detract from their confidence. Patients who are good candidates for a facelift will typically:
Facelift First Step
The first step in the facelift process begins with your consultation. During your consultation, Dr. Feldman will analyze your face very thoroughly and suggest an approach that will work for your personal and unique physiology. She will also ask you about your main areas of concern and discuss the various techniques available to address them. This is the ideal time to review your medical history and ask any questions you might have about the procedure and its associated risks.
Once you decide to proceed, Dr. Feldman will create a personalized surgical plan.Our Patient Care Coordinator will provide pricing, schedule your procedure, and provide any pre-operative instructions.
Facelift procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, meaning patients can return home once the immediate effects of the anesthesia wear off. In most cases, patients do not require an overnight hospital stay after undergoing a facelift procedure. Patients are recommended to have a family member or a friend drive them home.
Once you are settled in your room at the surgical center, Dr. Feldman will review the surgical plan once more in case of any outstanding questions and concerns. It is essential that you feel confident going into surgery. Finally, a board-certified anesthesiologist will administer the predetermined type of anesthesia for your comfort during the procedure.
Once sedated, Dr. Feldman will create the incisions and manipulate the key target areas to rejuvenate your facial anatomy. Once she has accomplished the desired results, the incisions are closed with sutures or surgical staples.
In some cases, Dr. Feldman may place drains to prevent any fluid build-up.
Once the surgery is complete, our team will monitor you in the recovery room until the sedation wears off.
Given that the face is a sensitive part of the body, patients are recommended to take a few weeks off from work and rest. That will also give you time for swelling and bruising to subside. The face should be kept elevated, strenuous exercise beyond walking should be avoided, and cold compresses and pain medication should be used as needed.
Depending on the approach, a facelift can remove ten to fifteen years from your face. It provides long-lasting results, but the procedure may need to be repeated every five years to maintain your desired results.
The cost of a facelift in Philadelphia, PA, depends on your case’s complexity, the surgeon’s fees, and other factors. To get an accurate estimate, schedule a consultation with Dr. Feldman so she can create the ideal surgical plan for you. Our Patient Care Coordinator will then be able to provide pricing.
