Things You Should Know before a Facelift

"But first, let me take a selfie."

We’ve all heard this (and said it!) more times than we care to admit—but we can’t deny the truth: the Selfie is here to stay. As we all smile, pose, and filter, we find ourselves staring at our own faces more than any other generation in history.

We don’t always like what we see reflected in our snaps.

If you’ve gotten to the point where you can’t stand the sight of your own selfies without bunny ears or a flower crown, we get it. Perfection is an oasis in the desert, and yet we still keep running towards it. Take a breather, and consider an alternative.

What if your selfie made you smile again?

Rather than mask your imperfections behind a screen and endless animal-themed filters, fight back against aging with a professional facelift at an accredited surgical suite. Plastic surgery is no longer a taboo topic, no more a secret to hide from the world. Patients all across Virginia, Norfolk, Newport News, and Chesapeake, VA are scheduling their free cosmetic consultations now—what’s stopping you?

Should I get a facelift?

It may be time for a facelift if you’ve noticed fine lines or wrinkles around your mouth and eyes, creases in your forehead, or loss of volume and tightness in your cheeks. Time, gravity, and life take a toll on us all, but we don’t have to surrender. Fight back against signs of aging and stress, with a professional facelift from a trusted plastic surgeon in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, or Newport News.

A facelift can be beneficial for more than just your face—tighten loose or sagging skin around your neck and jawline, too!

How long is the recovery time for a facelift?

Treating your body right while you heal will greatly speed your recovery process. Eat right, rest well, and follow any and all aftercare instructions from your plastic surgeon. Although recovery times will vary from person to person, most patients are back to 100% after two weeks.

Does a facelift leave scars?

The best plastic surgeons know how to place incisions where they will be less noticeable—and when they heal, they’ll be all but invisible. Some plastic surgeons have pioneered unique methods for facelifts to generate better results and minimize any scarring.

How long does a facelift last?

A facelift can last for years when maintained properly. A healthy diet, lots of rest, sunscreen, and a strategic daily skin care routine can keep your skin looking and feeling soft, supple, and smooth. Pairing your facelift and ongoing routine with occasional laser rejuvenation treatments can also extend the results of your facelift.
