Facelift Surgery (Rhytidectomy)
This procedure is successfully performed on patients ranging in age from 30 to over 80. A facelift cannot stop the aging process nor can it turn back the clock. It can do is give your face a healthy and more youthful appearance. Many patients experience increased self-confidence. As with all facial plastic surgery, general good health and realistic expectations are prerequisites.
In some patients, Dr. Sedwick will recommend facial liposuction to remove excess fatty deposits in conjunction with a face-lift. A facelift/necklift primarily treats the jaw line area and neck areas or the lower half of the face. As the aging population increases, face lifting has become a more desirable plastic surgery procedure. Dr. Sedwick will often combine the facelift with a laser or liposuction to maximize results. Dr. Sedwick is careful to minimize trauma which results in a more rapid healing process, recovery and return to social activities.
To determine if a patient is a good candidate for facelift surgery, Dr. Sedwick would recommend consultation utilizing the computerized video imager and a complete facial analysis. Successful facial plastic surgery is the result of a good rapport between the patient and the surgeon. Trust, based on realistic expectations in exacting medical expertise, develops in the consulting stages before surgery. Dr. Sedwick can answer questions related to your specific needs. For questions or additional information, patients are welcome and encouraged to call.
