We all want to look attractive, young, and fresh. However, aging is unavoidable, and so are signs of aging like fine lines and creases, loose tissue, and pigmentation. Anti-aging treatments such as creams and lotions are readily accessible; however, they can do only so much.
At Arora Plastic Surgery and Med Spa, we offer facelift surgery that can reverse the signs of aging and give you a youthful look.
A facelift (commonly known as a rhytidectomy) is a cosmetic surgical procedure that tightens and lifts the facial tissues by removing loose and excess skin and smoothing out folds. This procedure rejuvenates the face as well as the neck.
Facelift surgery can be done in a variety of ways. Traditional facelifts and Mini facelifts are the two common types of facelift surgery.
During the consultation, Dr. Balvant Arora will analyze the face and neck, understand the patient’s goals and expectations and choose the appropriate type procedure and discuss at length.

To ensure that the face is bacteria-free before surgery, the surgeon requests the patient to clean their face, neck and scalp with germicidal soap ahead of time.
The first step in a facelift procedure is to do the marking and then general or local anesthesia is administered. After that, the face and neck is prepped and draped and the surgeon makes incisions on the face. The position and size of the incision are determined by the type of facelift performed.
After making the incisions, the surgeon lifts the overlying layer of skin and subcutaneous tissue away from the underlying tissues and muscles. If required, the surgeon may also tighten the underlying musculoaponeurtic facial tissues and/or use fat graft as fillers. The loose excess skin is then redraped and the excess is trimmed. The skin is then stitched back. If necessary, drains might be placed. Facelift surgery can also be done alongside a neck lift if needed by the patient.
A Facelift is not covered by insurance because it is considered a cosmetic procedure. The cost of a facelift varies based on the type of surgery, the technique utilized, the skill and experience of the surgeon, and many other factors such as:
One of the most popular cosmetic procedures is facelift surgery. Facelift surgery can offer many benefits, including tighter skin, reduced wrinkles, and a more youthful appearance. It can also help to redefine the jawline and improve facial contour. In addition, facelift surgery can boost self-esteem and self-confidence.
The patient will be able to go back home the same day as the surgery. Following surgery, some discomfort and swelling are to be expected. Pain medications are given to alleviate suffering. After the swelling has subsided, you will be able to see the results of the surgery.
Facelift surgery usually allows patients to resume their normal activities after 2 weeks, but it is advised that the individual refrain from the rigorous activity for at least 6 weeks following the surgery. Patients are also urged to keep their appointments with the surgeon since they can help the surgeon evaluate healing and ensure there are no problems.
Facelift procedures are very safe and usually have no side effects beyond the expected bruising and swelling. However, like any surgical procedures, there are some risks. They are:
