The cost of a facial can vary depending upon the extent of your concern. When choosing a plastic surgeon, you should seek the advice of an experienced cosmetic surgeon. A facelift is also a great way to reduce the appearance of sagging skin. Here are some tips to help you determine how much it will cost you. You can read on to find out about the process and what you can expect. And remember, the more you know about the facelift procedure, the less expensive it will be.
SMAS Lifts Remove Jowls
SMAS facial lift, also known by SMAS Rhytidectomy, is a procedure that tightens skin and repositions underlying muscles to correct sagging in lower-thirds of the faces. SMAS membrane-related cheek volume loss is also addressed by this procedure. The procedure removes jowls and can also reduce the signs of aging.
Facelifts with deep planes reduce jowls
Dr. Keller is a facial plastic surgeon who has been doing it for many years. His unique approach to deep-plane facial surgery allows him to reposition the face in both directions. The "2ixed SMAS", which is the area that holds your 2ixation area, can be freed by his high-SMAS technique. This creates a stronger area for you to lift your jowl.
Mini facelifts target sagging skin
Some patients may not be able to undergo a full facelift, even though it can reduce years off your appearance. A mini-facelift is designed to address the wrinkles and sagging skin of the lower face and is usually less invasive that a full one. The result is shorter recovery times and fewer scars. The cost of the procedure is often lower than a traditional facelift.
A facelift can cause complications
There are some side effects to a facial lift, but they will usually disappear over the next few weeks. Swelling and bruising are normal, but they are rare. The first four to 6 days following surgery are reserved for rest. Avoid heavy lifting, exercise, and sex. Your head might need to be elevated for a few nights after surgery. You will be prescribed pain medication to control any pain and swelling, and your face will most likely feel sore and bruised. You can use makeup to conceal any scarring if needed.
A facelift will cost you more than your monthly budget
A significant portion of the cost for a facelift is covered by out-of-pocket expenses. The cost of the gown, gloves, and use of scalpels or needles may be charged by the facility and surgeon. You may have to pay for prescription medication and bandages during your recovery. Anesthesia monitoring can also come with additional fees. These costs can be avoided, however.
