Real transformations

Procedure Details

Age: 65-74
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 123
BMI: 18.7
This patient was looking for an overall facial rejuvenation with a focus on the lower face, neck and eyes. Dr. Plant treated the deep lines around her mouth and on her neck with a lower face and neck lift combined with a chemical peel to address the fine lines around her mouth. She had already had 2 previous upper blepharoplasties, leaving her upper eyelids hollowed and prematurely aged, however her lower eyelids had not been treated, leaving excess skin. Dr. Plant customized a rejuvenation plan for her eyes, using a fat transfer to address the hollowing of the upper lids and a pinch blepharoplasty to correct the excess skin on the lower lids without hollowing them out like the upper lids. To complete the facial rejuvenation, Dr. Plant also performed a fat transfer to her cheeks.

Your questions, answered

Do you offer facelifts for men?

Yes, facelifts are popular among men looking to restore a firmer, more youthful jawline and reduce sagging skin without appearing overly pulled or artificial. Male facelift techniques are tailored to preserve masculine features, ensuring a natural, refreshed result without altering facial identity.

Dr. Plant takes a specialized approach to maintain strong jawline contours and natural facial proportions in male patients.

Will my facelift look unnatural?

A common concern among patients is whether a facelift will leave them looking overly tight or unnatural. Dr. Plant takes a conservative, customized approach, focusing on lifting and repositioning tissues rather than over-tightening the skin.

As swelling subsides, the face settles into a natural, youthful shape, enhancing definition and smoothness without looking artificial. Most patients find that their results look refreshed and subtle, not drastically different.

Are there risks associated with a facelift?

A facelift is a safe and effective procedure when performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Plant. However, as with any surgery, potential risks include temporary swelling, minor asymmetry, numbness, or changes in skin sensation.

Dr. Plant prioritizes patient safety and precision, using the most advanced surgical techniques to minimize risks and ensure optimal healing. During your consultation, he will discuss any potential concerns and how they are managed, ensuring you feel fully informed and confident in your decision.

Are the results of a facelift permanent?

Facelift results are long-lasting, with most patients enjoying a more youthful appearance for 10 to 15 years. However, natural aging continues, and some patients may choose to undergo non-surgical maintenance treatments over time.

Dr. Plant uses advanced techniques to ensure facelift results remain natural and enduring, helping patients look refreshed for years to come.

How long is the recovery period after a facelift?

Most patients return to light activities within one to two weeks, with full recovery taking about four to six weeks. Some swelling and bruising are normal in the early stages but gradually subside. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities and direct sun exposure until fully healed.

At Lawrence Park Plastic Surgery, Dr. Plant and his team provide comprehensive aftercare support to ensure a smooth, comfortable recovery. This includes personalized guidance, detailed recovery protocols, and follow-up care to promote optimal healing and long-lasting results. From the moment your procedure is complete, you’ll have access to expert advice and hands-on support, so you can heal with confidence.
