What is a Traditional Facelift?
Facelift or Rhytidectomy is a surgical procedure available at Coastal Cosmetic Center in Jacksonville, Florida that is intended to tighten up loose skin and wrinkles, making you look refreshed and years younger. In the facelift cosmetic surgery procedure, surgeon place an incision inconspicuously along the hairline, under the chin, or behind the ear. Facial and neck skin is then lifted and tightened, and the excess skin is removed. To complete the facelift, remaining skin is smoothed and sutured closed. The procedure may take up to three hours, depending on your skin’s condition and desired results. Most patients experience only minor pain and discomfort. Other side effects may include swelling, bruising, numbness, and a tight feeling. Most patients are fine to resume routine activities after about 10 days. In a surgical facelift, the wound healing process can take several months yet remain undetected by the general public.
What is an Ultherapy® Facelift?
Ultherapy® is a non-surgical lifting procedure for the face and neck that uses tried-and-true ultrasound technology to gradually strengthen your skin from deep within. At Coastal Cosmetic Center we use Ultherapy to strengthen your skin from the inside out, in a completely non-invasive way.
One of the main benefits of Ultherapy is that there is practically no downtime and patients can resume their normal activities almost immediately after receiving treatment. In less than an hour, after just one treatment, your skin will gradually reflect a more lifted and toned appearance. Mild redness and tenderness of the skin is expected after the procedure, although these effects are only temporary and dissipate within a few hours.
No matter which service you choose, you can trust the experienced plastic surgeon and practitioners at Coastal Cosmetic Surgery for phenomenal results in facial rejuvenation.
