Facelift Philadelphia

Philadelphia Plastic Surgeon Dr. Robert J. Mirabile performs Facial Rejuvenation surgery, such as the Face Lift, a cosmetic enhancement surgery that restores sagging facial muscles and loose skin to a more youthful looking state by surgically removing excess skin and fatty deposits in the face, chin and jaw, while smoothing and tightening skin to create a rejuvenated, youthful look. Recovery times vary depending on the patient and extent of correction needed to achieve the desired results, but Face Lift patients typically see results begin to emerge after the third week after surgery and will fully recover after six months after surgery.

Is it Right for Me?

As with any cosmetic enhancement surgery, you should first consider your motivations for surgery to be sure that you’re choosing surgery for yourself and not to fulfill someone else’s’ desires or expectations of you or your body. It is a very personal matter and any decision for surgery should come after careful consideration of all the facts and emotions involved.

The facelift procedure may be an option, if you::

* Are physically healthy and free from any life-threatening illness or disease
* Don’t smoke
* Have realistic expectations and motivations for surgery

What to Expect During Your Consultation

In order to create the best possible results from your facelift t is important that your surgeon consult with you to discuss your desires and expectations, as well as how the facelift surgery will impact your health, lifestyle and general well-being. It is a good idea to prepare by considering the following before your consultation:

* General medical history, including the results of laboratory work and past surgeries
* A detailed account of current prescription medications, supplements (vitamins or others) that you take
* Any use of tobacco or other drugs
* What are your motivations for surgery? What are your expectations?

At the consultation, your surgeon will also:

* Evaluate your current health
* Evaluate the extent of corrective surgery needed to achieve the results desired
* Photographically document the facial area
* Based on the information gathered, your surgeon will discuss your surgical options and recommend a course of treatment
* Disclose the risk of common complications associated with facelift surgery and the use of anesthesia
* Cover what to do the day of surgery
* Cover post-operative care and recovery
