Facelifts & Liquid Facelifts in Baltimore, MD

It happens to all of us. One day you look in the mirror and see wrinkles, sagging and other signs of aging that weren’t there before. The reality is that our face is the first place to reflect the aging process.

The time to consider a facelift has little to do with your chronological age, but rather when your concerns about your appearance start to affect your confidence. If you think you look older than you feel, and the signs of aging are affecting your confidence and lifestyle, our Baltimore facelift surgeons may be able to help.

At Belcara Health, we understand that most patients want to look like themselves, only improved and more youthful. By using a comprehensive, customized approach, we are able to give patients the refreshed, natural-looking, youthful changes they desire, without showing the signs of surgery or intervention.

As we age, the tissues of our face and neck lose elasticity and weaken. The volume of our features deflates and shifts downward, creating a sagging, aged appearance. The results of these multi-layered and multi-vectored downward shifts can be seen in the widening of the lower face along the jawline, sagging jowls, and laxity of the skin of the face and neck. Which can make many people begin to look older than they feel.

We have all seen these changes in those around us and too often we accept them as inevitable. However, we know there is a progression to these changes and it is no longer necessary to yield to the captive effects of time and gravity. Today, more than ever, there are techniques and interventions that can alter this progression.

Our “Multi-Vector” Approach to Facelifts

Our Maryland facelift surgeons evaluate all aspects of your facial appearance, from brow to neck, and recommend a treatment plan that counterbalances the downward shifts of skin and volume that meets your personal needs. By addressing all your features together as a whole, and not as isolated entities, your surgeon will be able to restore complete facial harmony and provide you with a more youthful, natural-looking result.

The multi-vector lift approach to facial contouring re-establishes the natural curves and lines of the cheeks, face, jawline, and neck without disruption or irregularities. It relies on the re-positioning of existing tissues to restore volume for the subtle curves and lines that create a natural-looking, youthful appearance.

What Results Can I Expect from a Facelift?

A facelift uses a multi-vector approach to re-establishes the natural curves and lines of the cheeks, face, jawline, and neck without disruption or irregularities. It lifts and re-positions existing tissues of the lower face and neck to restore volume for the subtle curves and lines that create a natural-looking, youthful appearance.

The extent of your facelift will depend upon your concerns, your anatomy, and your goals. For an optimal outcome, it is vital for your expectations to align with your treatment plan, which is why we educate you about all your facelift and liquid facelift options and work with you to customize a plan that best meets your needs and goals.

Who is a Good Candidate for a Facelift?

Patients considering a facelift should be in good general health, should not smoke cigarettes, and have a realistic understanding of what can be accomplished with the procedure. Facelift surgery cannot stop the aging process – instead, it is meant to “turn back the clock” a few years. During your initial consultation, your Belcara Health Plastic Surgeon will discuss your concerns, goals, medical history, and expected result with you and determine the best treatment plan to meet your needs.

What does a Baltimore Face Lift Procedure Involve?

A facelift is typically performed under moderate sedation or general anesthesia. An incision is usually placed along the hairline by the temple, then it courses in front and behind the ear in a natural skin crease and ends along the hairline behind the ear. This incision is designed to hide in natural skin creases and minimize scarring while providing the necessary access to lift and re-position the sagging tissues of the face and neck. By using the multi-vector approach, a facelift provides youthful transformations that are more comprehensive and natural looking in a safe and proven technique that is usually performed in just a few hours.

Where will the Facelift Procedure Take Place?

Most facelift patients elect to have their procedures performed in our on-site surgery center. Our 5-star facility, the Clarkview Surgical Center, was designed with the safety, comfort, privacy, and convenience of our patients in mind. It features state-of-the-art technology and meets the most rigorous safety standards. We are proud to be one of the few outpatient surgical facilities to earn AAAHC accreditation, as well as certifications from Medicare and the state of Maryland. Because safety is our first concern, all surgical procedures are performed with board-certified anesthesiologists and registered nurses.

What Should I Expect During Recovery from a Facelift?

Following your procedure, you will be able to rest in the comfort of your own home. Because you will have been under anesthesia, you must have someone to drive you home after surgery. It may take several hours for the anesthesia medication to wear off, so expect to be groggy for a while.

Every patient’s recovery is different and depends upon the extent of their personal treatment plan. You may experience some bruising or swelling in the first few days following surgery, but these typically resolve in 1-2 weeks. Your surgeon will give you thorough instructions that are tailored to your individual case, but in general, patients can expect the following:

• Rest in bed the day of surgery and limit activity for the next 3-5 days.
• Avoid bending or lifting heavy objects for 1 week
• Avoid strenuous activities for 2 weeks
• Typically, you can return to work within 7 to 10 days.
