Dr. Konstantin Vasyukevich: Top Questions Answered About Facelift
New York, NY (PRWEB) February 07, 2014 -- Dr. Konstantin Vasyukevich, widely recognized as New York City’s premier facial plastic surgeon, says he hears many of the same questions from the vast majority of people who come to him seeking a facelift. “Some people may be reluctant to schedule a consultation because they have so many questions,” he observes. “To help them get past that hesitation, I’d like to answer some of the most common questions up front.”
How much younger will a facelift make me look?
Properly performed, a facelift should make you look refreshed and rested. You’ll look younger, but each person and his/her goals are different, so it’s hard to say how much younger or more refreshed you’ll look following your facelift until you have a thorough evaluation.
Will my skin look too “stretched” after a facelift?
No. The over-operated look that used to be characteristic of facelifts resulted from surgical techniques that are no longer in use. Keep in mind, too, that many people whose facial skin looks too tight have probably had multiple surgeries performed over time.
What if a facelift won’t solve all my issues?
A facelift is often performed in conjunction with liposculpting, a way of selectively removing excess fat from beneath the skin of your jowls and neck to provide a smoother, younger appearance. Eyelid surgery may also be indicated, if your upper or lower eyelids have too much skin or excess fat. There may also be non-surgical techniques that can help rejuvenate your skin and support your best results.
How noticeable will my scars be after surgery?
While it is true that the incisions required for a full facelift will leave scars, you should know that the incisions are placed in natural skin creases, beneath the chin, around the ears, and along the hairline, making them as inconspicuous as possible. Better yet, after healing, these incisions are virtually undetectable.
How long will recovery really take?
This varies from patient to patient, and those with slim faces recover faster than those with full faces. Patients who have more extensive procedures will take a little longer to heal, too, but a good starting point is to plan on one full week of personal time before returning to work or other activities in the public eye. Using that personal time to pamper yourself, keep your attitude positive, and concentrate on the benefits of your facelift will help you recover more quickly.
