Why Facelift Surgery?

By elevating the tissue in a deeper plane than a traditional face lift surgery, and paying particular attention to the muscles and fat under the chin, a more significant and more natural-appearing rejuvenation occurs. Mini-facelift surgery patients are treated in the office setting using local anesthetic and return home immediately after the procedure.

Our Two Step Process

1-
Preparing for Your Procedure

As with any procedure, you should stop any medication or supplements that are not essential for 10-14 days prior to decrease your risk of bleeding complications. Please refer to your list of medications to avoid and always check with your doctor prior to stopping medications.

2-
Revision Facelift Surgery Techniques

Revision facelift surgeries are performed on patients who have previously undergone facelift surgery and are either unhappy with the results, or enough time has passed and they are ready for another. Quintessa’s advanced surgical techniques give our doctors the ability to perform revision facelift surgeries with the same degree of rejuvenation and natural appearance as our primary facelifts.

There is no other technique that can provide a natural look for revision facelift surgery patients. These surgical techniques enable us to truly reverse some of the telltale signs or “surgical look” of previous, less sophisticated procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How long do facelift results last?

Facelift results typically last at least ten years or more, though this can vary based on factors such as age, your skin’s natural elasticity, and lifestyle habits. Regular skin care and a healthy lifestyle can help prolong your youthful appearance.

Recovery after facelift surgery varies based on the extent of the procedure. Most patients experience swelling and bruising for the first 1-2 weeks, which gradually subsides. Following your surgeon’s post-operative care instructions is key to ensuring optimal healing and results.

Facelift surgery is designed to address multiple signs of aging, including:

  • Sagging skin
  • Jowls along the jawline
  • Deep wrinkles and creases around the mouth
  • Loose skin and fat deposits in the neck

Plastic surgery facelift procedures typically use general anesthesia or deep sedation to ensure your comfort throughout the surgery. Your surgeon will discuss the best option for you during your consultation.

Scarring is minimal, as incisions are carefully placed along natural contours of the face and hairline to remain discreet. Over time, scars fade significantly and are often barely visible.

Light walking is encouraged soon after surgery to promote circulation. However, strenuous activities should be avoided for at least 4-6 weeks to ensure proper healing. Your surgeon will provide a personalized timeline based on your recovery progress.

A mini-lift targets mild sagging and early signs of aging, focusing on the mid-face and jawline with smaller incisions and shorter recovery time. The cost for a full facelift will generally be higher as it addresses more extensive sagging and wrinkles throughout the lower face and neck.

Ideal candidates are generally in good health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations. They typically want to address sagging skin, jowls, or wrinkles that cannot be improved through non-surgical treatments.

Most patients report minimal discomfort following surgery. Pain and tightness can be effectively managed with prescribed medications or over-the-counter pain relievers. Our team provides detailed pain management instructions tailored to your needs.

Most patients return to work or non-strenuous activities within 10-14 days, depending on their job and healing process.

While you’ll notice improvements soon after surgery, final results typically emerge after swelling subsides, usually around 4-6 weeks. The surgical areas continue to heal and refine over several months.

The cost varies based on your specific needs and chosen techniques. During your consultation at Quintessa, we’ll provide a detailed breakdown of facelift surgery cost in Milwaukee and discuss financing options.

Still have questions? Our team at Quintessa is here to guide you every step of the way. Schedule a consultation to discuss your concerns and learn more about how a facelift can help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
