Face Lifting

What is a Facelift?

A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a surgery that redefines facial contours and reduces sagging for a younger and firmer appearance. This procedure restores skin elasticity, smooths wrinkles, and provides natural and long-lasting results.

Dr. Segovia performs this procedure adapting it to each patient. His approach seeks natural results that allow you to rejuvenate your expression without losing your personal essence.

Why Do People Choose to Get a Facelift?

Over the years, skin loses collagen and elastin, elements that provide firmness and elasticity to our face. When this happens, signs of aging appear that can affect our confidence.

Common reasons:

• Correcting sagging in the cheeks and neck
• Reducing deep lines between the nose and mouth
• Eliminating double chin or excess skin on the neck
• Improving drooping eyebrows
• Restoring definition to the jawline

Types of Facelifts

There are different techniques that Dr. Segovia can recommend based on your needs:

Full Facelift

This procedure covers the entire face and neck. It is ideal for people with advanced signs of aging. The results are remarkable and long-lasting, potentially lasting up to 10 years.

Mid-Facelift

It focuses on the cheeks and the central area of the face. It's perfect for those who have sagging in the cheekbones but maintain a good appearance in the neck and forehead.

Mini Facelift

It is less invasive and focuses on specific areas such as the jawline. Recovery time is shorter, but results are also more subtle.

Neck Lift

It concentrates on eliminating neck sagging and defining the jawline. Many patients combine it with a facelift to achieve harmonious results.

The Facelift Process

Initial Consultation

Everything begins with a consultation with Dr. Segovia. During this visit:

• You'll discuss your expectations and goals
• The doctor will examine your face and facial structure
• Photographs will be taken for analysis and planning
• You'll discuss the most suitable surgical options for you
• All your questions about the procedure will be answered

Preparation for Surgery

Before your facelift, you should follow some recommendations:

• Stop smoking at least two weeks before (tobacco delays healing)
• Avoid medications like aspirin that can increase bleeding
• Do not eat or drink anything in the hours before surgery, as medically directed

During Surgery

A facelift generally:

• Is performed under general anesthesia
• Lasts between 2 and 4 hours, depending on complexity
• Includes discreet incisions around the ears and scalp
• Involves repositioning facial tissues and removing excess skin

Recovery

After surgery:

• You'll experience swelling and possible bruising during the first few days
• Stitches will be removed after approximately one week
• You can return to work after two weeks
• Swelling will decrease considerably after a month
• You should avoid intense physical activities for 4-6 weeks
