How to Prepare for Facial Rejuvenation
After scheduling your facial rejuvenation procedure, you will need to make certain preparations. Your surgeon will provide you with a set of detailed instructions, which may direct you to:
- Follow Medication Guidelines: Avoid taking any medications or supplements that contain blood-thinning or antiplatelet properties.
- Arrange Time Away: Prepare time away from your professional and social commitments to give yourself time to focus on healing.
- Coordinate Transportation: Have a trusted friend or relative transport you home after your procedure.
- Fill Your Prescriptions: Pick up any medications you may need as you recover ahead of time.
- Cease Any Substance Use: Refrain from any nicotine or alcohol consumption in the weeks leading up to your procedure.
Available Procedures
Blepharoplasty
A blepharoplasty, or eyelid lift, is a procedure that restores a smoother and more defined appearance to your upper and/or lower eyelids. During this procedure, your surgeon removes and repositions excess fat or lax skin and tightens weakened ligaments to create a brighter and wider appearance in your eyes. (2)
Facelift
A facelift, or a rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that lifts your facial muscles and removes excess skin to restore a more youthful-looking appearance. (3) This comprehensive procedure can soften visible signs of aging across the middle and lower regions of your face.
Forehead Lift
A forehead lift elevates and repositions your eyebrows and restores smoother skin. This procedure can address visible signs of aging in the upper face, such as loose or sagging skin, heavy forehead wrinkles or creases, and descending brows. Our surgeons can perform several variations of this procedure depending on your needs.
Lip Lift
A lip lift is a surgical procedure that can create a fuller appearance in the upper lip. During the procedure, your surgeon removes a small amount of skin from the area between your upper lip and the base of your nose (the philtrum). By doing so, your surgeon exposes more of your lip’s vermillion (pigmented skin) and creates a more defined appearance.
Neck Lift
A neck lift can refine the appearance of your neck by reducing age-related concerns, such as sagging skin, jowls, stubborn fullness, vertical muscle bands, and more. Our surgical team typically performs this procedure alongside a facelift for more cohesive results.
Ozempic Face
Ozempic face is a phrase people use to describe a phenomenon that occurs after rapid weight loss, typically when you use GLP-1 medications. It typically is characterized by facial volume loss or hollowing, as well as sagging and hanging skin. To address these concerns, your surgeon can perform one of our many Ozempic face treatments. These are a collection of surgical and nonsurgical treatments that target sagging and replenish volume.
Recovery
After your facial rejuvenation procedure, you will need to take some time to rest. Throughout your initial recovery phase, you may experience some swelling, bruising, or tenderness. These effects are temporary and will dissipate on their own. You may manage them with a cold compress, medications your surgeon prescribes, and plenty of rest. You will be able to return to most of your daily activities after resting for approximately one to two weeks. However, you will need to refrain from engaging in more physically demanding tasks for another several weeks, or until your surgeon approves your return.
Your surgeon will provide you with a full set of aftercare instructions during your consultation, so you have a full understanding of what to expect and how to care for yourself. By following each instruction, you can ensure a quick return to your routine and the best possible results.
Results
You will be able to enjoy the full results of your facial rejuvenation procedure after a full recovery. While your results will vary depending on the procedure you receive, you can expect to experience smoother skin, more prominent facial features, and a more youthful-looking appearance overall.
The results of your facial rejuvenation procedure will be long-lasting, with effects that you can enjoy for years to come. Despite this, you must remember that these procedures cannot stop the natural aging process from altering your appearance with time.
