Image Surgical Arts

Facelifts are a popular cosmetic procedure among those who wish to restore a more youthful appearance. The physical effects of aging, sun exposure, gravity, and stress can mask your natural beauty and steal your youthful appearance. At Image Surgical Arts of Nashville, we offer several types of surgical and non-surgical facelifts that can be customized to fit your individual needs and ultimate goals.

These procedures are not just for women. In fact, facelifts are a very common surgical procedure for men of all ages. Whether you’re unhappy with your facial appearance due to genetics, changes in weight, or because of the natural aging process, facelifts can help. There are several types of facelift procedures designed to address your individual cosmetic concerns. Most patients opt to add additional procedures at the same time such as upper and/or lower eyelid lifts, fat transfer to the face, or laser skin resurfacing. At our state-of-the-art surgical center and medical spa, we incorporate advanced technology into our facelifts for improved long-lasting results.

Procedure Details

Surgical facelifts are performed as an outpatient procedure in our own surgical facility. Well-hidden incisions are made along the hairline and around the ear allowing Dr. Harris to remove excess skin, remove unwanted fat deposits, and tighten underlying muscles.

Dr. Harris always combines liposuction of the neck and jowl to improve results. Additional procedures for full facial rejuvenation may be recommended such as tightening the neck muscles that cause neck bands, an upper or lower eye lift, fat transfer for volume addition, and laser skin resurfacing. A full facial rejuvenation may take anywhere from 3-4 hours.

Facelift Recovery + Results

As anesthesia wears off and for several days after your surgery, pain medication may be necessary, although most patients need very little. You can decide, along with Dr. Harris, what type of medication will be best for you. Pain-levels steadily decline about 2-3 days post-surgery. Recovery time typically takes about 2 weeks. During that time, you'll need to take it easy and let your body rest to promote healing. Enlist some help and be sure to have everything you need right at hand.

Results from your facelift will be evident immediately following your procedure. As swelling begins to dissipate, you’ll see continued improvement.

The majority of swelling should be gone about 2-weeks post-op, however, final results may not be apparent until 3 months after your facelift. You’ll benefit from a dramatically more youthful look that can take 10, or even 15 years off your facial appearance. Facelifts are designed to be a long-lasting procedure.

Types of Facelifts

Mini Facelift: This procedure is ideal for patients who show mild to moderate signs of aging and are seeking less invasive options. It targets the lower face, primarily focusing on the jawline and neck. This procedure is less comprehensive than a full facelift but offers a shorter recovery time and can be suitable for younger patients or those with minor sagging and wrinkles.

Mid-Face Lift: This procedure specifically targets the area from the upper cheek to the lower eyelid. It is ideal for those looking to elevate sagging cheeks and reduce nasolabial folds, restoring a more naturally youthful contour to the mid-face. Candidates for a mid-face lift often seek to correct the early signs of aging and are usually in their 40s to 50s.

Full Facelift: This traditional option provides the most comprehensive rejuvenation, addressing deeper facial wrinkles, sagging skin, and loss of muscle tone from the upper face to the neck. It is ideal for patients with significant signs of aging who seek dramatic improvement. Furthermore, this procedure repositions and tightens the facial skin and underlying muscles, offering profound and lasting changes.

Benefits of Facelift Surgery

Facelift reduces visible signs of aging across multiple areas of the face and neck. By tightening sagging skin, smoothing deep wrinkles, and restoring volume, a facelift can significantly rejuvenate one’s appearance, resulting in a more rested and youthful look. Consequently, this can help to boost a patient’s confidence, while similarly elevating the patient’s dating and professional prospects.

While no surgical procedure can halt the aging process, the results of a facelift are long-lasting. Patients can enjoy their refreshed appearance for many years. Maintaining these results with a healthy lifestyle, skin care regimen, and protection against sun exposure can extend the benefits even further.

Advanced Facelift Techniques

Dr. Harris utilizes advanced surgical techniques to achieve natural-looking results. Techniques such as the SMAS lift involve repositioning the deeper layers of the skin and muscle to improve facial structure and reduce sagging. The deep plane facelift goes even deeper, allowing for more significant adjustments without the tight or pulled appearance that can occur with less advanced methods.

Pre-Operative Preparation

Effective preparation is key to the success of your facelift surgery:

  • Consultations: Initial consultations with Dr. Harris are essential to discuss your goals, the details of the facelift procedure, and any concerns you may have.
  • Medical Evaluations: Complete any necessary medical tests to ensure you are fit for surgery.

  • Lifestyle Adjustments: Smoking cessation is crucial, as smoking can severely hinder healing. Limiting alcohol consumption and avoiding certain medications and supplements that promote bleeding are also important pre-operative steps.
  • Planning for Recovery: Arrange for someone to drive you home after the surgery and help you during the first few days of your recovery.

Complementary Procedures

To enhance the results of a facelift and achieve a more comprehensive rejuvenation, Dr. Harris may recommend complementary procedures that can be performed in conjunction with a facelift. These additional treatments can address areas not typically covered by a facelift and provide a harmonious overall aesthetic.

  • Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty): This procedure can correct sagging eyelids, remove puffiness in the eye area, and eliminate under-eye bags, contributing to a more alert and youthful facial expression.
  • Brow Lift: Brow lift can be combined with facelift to elevate drooping eyebrows and smooth forehead lines. This helps restore a more open, refreshed look to the upper face.
  • Fat Transfer: Adding volume to areas that have become hollow or sunken over time, fat transfer uses your own fat to enhance facial fullness. It can be particularly effective in the cheeks, lips, and under-eye areas, complementing the tightening effects of a facelift.
  • Skin Resurfacing Treatments: Techniques such as laser resurfacing, chemical peels, or microneedling improve skin texture and tone, reduce fine lines, and enhance the skin’s overall quality. These treatments can be tailored to match the new contours of your face post-facelift for a flawless finish.
