Are you considering a facelift? Here’s what you need to know!

There is a lot of information available today for patients who are considering a surgical facelift. Facial plastic surgery is a personal decision, and when imperfections cause patients to consider these elective procedures, Dr. Joseph C. Berardi of Scottsdale, AZ wants to ensure patients have the knowledge they need to make an educated decision regarding their solutions. Patients who are thinking about a facelift will need to think about all the factors that go into this procedure.  Here are some common questions asked to our board certified plastic surgeon at Berardi Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery:

Is it time for a facelift?

If you have been unhappy with alternative treatments such as dermal fillers and other cosmetic injectables, and have been considering more dramatic results, it might be a great time to consider the benefits of a facelift. Dr. Joseph C. Berardi offers evaluations to help patients determine if they could benefit from this or other treatment options available on the market today.

How long will the results last?

Unlike fillers that need to be reinjected with time, a facelift will last for many, many years. In the future, some touch-ups may be needed as gravity and aging continue, but these treatments are often less invasive.

How long will I need to take off of work and other activities?

Recovery does take several days and sometimes up to a few weeks depending on how the patient’s body responds during the healing process. Most patients can experience to take approximately two weeks off of work before returning, depending on the demands of their jobs. Patients will have follow-up appointments to monitor the improvement and ensure there is a reduced risk of infection.
