As you age, your skin starts to lose its elasticity. The results of this are especially harsh on your face, leading to sagging skin, wrinkles, deep fold lines, double chins, and jowls. These signs of aging are especially hard to conceal with makeup or minimally invasive treatments such as dermal fillers and Botox.
When you enter this phase of the aging process, plastic surgery provides the option to maintain your youthful appearance. With facial plastic surgery in Woodinville, you can transform your current look into one that is vibrant and youthful.
In Woodinville, we offer various surgical cosmetic procedures that can transform and enhance your face.
A complete facelift is great for giving you an overall vibrant and naturally youthful appearance. Facelift procedures no longer result in that overdone, windswept look; instead, this procedure creates a smoother appearance overall, softening the deep wrinkles and tightening the sagging skin that obscures your facial contours.
As you age, your brows may sit lower on your forehead, giving you a tired or even angry look. When your brows are lifted, your eyes are suddenly brighter and more noticeable, giving you a youthful and refreshed appearance.
A neck lift is perfect for returning definition to the contour of your jawline and improving the appearance of the neck itself. Following a neck lift procedure, you will have your old profile back and can toss away your turtlenecks for more revealing clothing.
Sometimes your eyelids themselves can give you a tired look. Like the brow lift, an eyelid lift can immediately make your eyes appear brighter and more noticeable, giving you a more awake and engaged appearance.
Facial plastic surgery is considered a form of major reconstructive surgery. It is an invasive procedure that requires anesthesia and a relatively significant recovery time. For example, in the case of a facelift or neck lift, your plastic surgeon will make an incision in the hairline around the ears, or under the chin. From the incision site, your surgeon will tighten the facial muscles and supporting structures under the surface of the skin, removing excess fat and skin. Your surgeon will then close the incisions with sutures.
While the details regarding anesthesia options and recovery time will depend on the specific procedure, a typical surgery lasts one to two hours, and you will be able to return home on the same day.
The recovery time from facial plastic surgery depends on the specifics of your procedure. However, in most cases, it takes two to three weeks for all swelling to resolve, and it may take two to three months before your face feels completely healed. As a result, you should anticipate having to withdraw from normal daily activities for a period of time as you recover.
The good news is that the effects of facial plastic surgery are long-lasting, and the transformative potential of these procedures makes them well worth the effort. Our team of Woodinville plastic surgeons is happy to help you understand all that is involved in any of the facial procedures we offer.
If you have entered the phase of your aging process where the results of most minimally invasive procedures leave you unsatisfied, it may be time to consider facial plastic surgery in Woodinville. This is an ideal approach to issues such as sagging skin, deep wrinkles around your mouth and between your eyebrows, drooping eyebrows, a double chin, and jowls.
