When you’re looking into having a facelift procedure, you may have numerous questions. That’s why you need an initial consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Our local medical professional, Dr. Timothy Fee, can tell you everything you need to know about getting a facelift in Jacksonville, Florida.
Here are some of the things you want to ask our qualified medical doctor.
Different Types of Facelifts
One of the first important things to know is that there’s more than just one kind of facelift. Thread lifts and other procedures are less invasive than deep plane or SMAS facelifts. Each comes with its own recovery time and general circumstances.
Don’t assume that all facelifts are the same. Ask your doctor what a specific technique entails. Obtain all of the benefits and risks upfront so that you can be informed about the type of facelift options you have and information on the procedure you ultimately select.
After the Procedure
Another important thing to know is what you’ll look like and feel like directly after getting a facelift in Jacksonville, Florida.
These types of surgeries aren’t prone to complications or secondary problems, but there can be significant bruising and swelling on the face. You want to regularly check for redness or swelling at any injection sites, or swelling of the facial tissue, and keep tabs on your recovery over time. Our experienced doctor and staff will tell you what to look for; they’ll explain warning signs of an infection and when a follow up may be necessary.
Taking Time Off
Time after time, experienced facelift patients will warn others that it’s a good idea to pencil in some time off after a procedure.
Technically speaking, you may be back to normal after only a few days. However, there will be visual changes. There may be minor aches and pains to deal with in addition to bruising or swelling. You want to make sure that you don’t have to go back to work or resume a normal routine before you’re ready.
Results of Facelifts
As a prospective patient, you will want to know exactly what you should look like after a facelift. Results vary. While facelifts can smooth away some wrinkles, they are not going to magically wipe your face entirely clean. Dr. Timothy Fee and our staff can share specific visual images that will prepare you for realistic results. Ask Dr. Timothy Fee or your doctor about which areas will become smooth and firm in a facelift, and try to get an idea of what the finished result will look like.
