Dallas Facelift Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Everyone has fun in the sun during his or her younger years, but as you get older you start to realize that it may not have been the best idea. It’s been proven that years of sun exposure can cause severe damage to the skin.  Direct sun exposure can be limited with the use of sun block, but many people prefer to go without it to achieve a tanned look, or they simply forget to bring it along on their outdoor adventures. As a result, individuals may have wrinkles and sagging skin around the eyes, nose, and chin. Sometimes the skin looses elasticity on its own naturally due to age regardless of the amount of sun exposure. Many times, people begin to have a naturally tired appearance, and a facelift can drastically change your countenance. No matter what your personal reason, looking into a facelift is a good option for improving sagging, droopy skin. When you’re ready to make a move, the first step is to contact a board certified plastic surgeon.

The Ideal Candidate

If you would like to remove wrinkles and excess skin on the face and neck, a facelift is the right procedure for you. A facelift will help to remove deep lines, along with existing smaller creases around the eyes, nose, and mouth. The ideal candidate also needs to have some elasticity to their skin. Although a facelift is meant to tighten loose skin, you must maintain a certain amount of flexibility for the procedure to be successful. Your surgeon will be able to tell you if your skin is flexible enough for you to be a good facelift candidate. For those who are not, other facial enhancement procedures may be the best option. It is also important to have strong bone structure so your face doesn’t appear sunken in once the skin is stretched during the facelift.

You also need to understand the risks. Risks vary depending on each individual’s situation, and it is important to find a plastic surgeon that understands your specific case and needs. Dr. Angobaldo is a board certified plastic surgeon in Plano, Texas, and he is known for spending time with patients individually to get a sense of their desired results and expectations.

After the Facelift

After meeting with a surgeon and going through with the procedure, you can expect to go back to the office within a few days for a post-surgical check up. At this time, the doctor will remove the bandages so he can see how your face is healing, and most likely apply new bandages afterwards. You can expect bruising and swelling after your facelift, but it should start to diminish after about one week. Everyone heals at different rates, and your surgeon will be able to give you a more specific answer as to when you should resume regular and/or strenuous activities.
