The aging process is often unkind to some people. If you have fine lines, wrinkles, spots and sun damage, this can make you appear older than you are. Fortunately, there are procedures the Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon can perform, to rejuvenate your skin and take away the wrinkles and fine lines. Through a facelift, you can look much younger and finally regain confidence in your appearance. Through this information, you will know how a facelift is carried out, so you can decide if this procedure is for you.
When you have a facelift done, you will first have several incisions made. These are strategically placed in areas that will not show your scars. The largest incision will be in the hairline on each side of your face. You will also have a small incision in front of and behind the ears. Finally, a small incision will be made under the chin. These incisions allow the surgeon to pull the skin taught and remove excess skin and wrinkles. The skin is then sutured into place, so healing can happen.
After your procedure, you can expect to be swollen and have some bruising. You may also have some discomfort. It is imperative you avoid sun exposure while you are healing. You will also need to give yourself time to recover. Unfortunately, you will not be able to see the full results of your surgical procedure until your healing time has been accomplished. The true appearance of your face will normally be visible after a couple of months of healing time.
If you are interested in having a facelift, the Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon can help. Contact the office of David K. Hiranaka M.D. D.M.D and schedule an appointment.

Through this procedure, you can finally be rid of excess skin and wrinkles, so an improved you can be revealed.
