Do signs of aging make you unhappy with what you see in the mirror daily? Many people feel frustrated with wrinkles, sagging jowls, and other effects of age on their faces. That’s why Dr. Lanfranchi specializes in rejuvenating face and neck procedures that can take years off your appearance!
What is a Facelift?
A facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic procedure to reduce the signs of aging on the face and neck. The procedure involves removing excess skin and fat from the face and tightening the underlying muscles to give the face a more youthful appearance.
At The Lanfranchi Center, we prioritize innovative and personalized procedures that create natural-looking results for each patient’s unique goals. Dr. Lanfranchi’s most popular treatment, the TLC Lift™, combines a neck lift and lower facelift to address jowls, sagging skin, neck bands, “turkey waddle,” and more.
How Long is Recovery After a Facelift?
Recovery time after your facelift will depend on your personalized treatment, but TLC Lift™ patients typically only need one to two weeks of downtime. You can expect some bruising and swelling after your procedure, and full healing may take a few weeks. We’ll give you detailed aftercare instructions to manage any discomfort and optimize your results.
3 Tips for Facelift Recovery
After your procedure with us, Team TLC will be there every step of the way to answer your questions and make sure your recovery is smooth and easy. Here are a few tips to ensure a fast recovery from your facelift at The Lanfranchi Center.
1: Get lots of rest and eat well
Your body is working hard to heal after a surgical procedure, and getting plenty of rest will help. Don’t overlook nutrition, either. Decreasing your calorie intake or missing important nutrients can slow your recovery.
2: Stay upright and avoid unnecessary head movements
Keeping your head elevated will help minimize swelling, so try to sleep propped up on pillows for a couple of weeks. It’s best to limit your head and neck movements during recovery to give your incisions time to heal. Putting strain on the incisions could result in more noticeable scars. It is important, however, to get up and walk around intermittently throughout the day to promote healthy blood flow.
3: Avoid sun exposure and extreme temperatures
Protecting your skin from sun damage and extreme temperatures is always a good idea, but your skin will be extra sensitive while it’s healing from a facelift. Be sure to wear sunscreen, limit time in harsh weather, and be careful of overusing heat pads or ice packs.
Facelift Results
You’ll be able to see improvements in your appearance as swelling and bruising fades over time. Initial results are typically visible within a couple of weeks, but your final outcome may take a couple of months to become apparent.
A facelift is the ultimate facial rejuvenation treatment, providing long-lasting and dramatic benefits. Most TLC Lift™ patients enjoy their results for ten years or more.
After researching plastic surgeons for over a year, I decided on Dr Lanfranci since I wanted the best and he only does faces! He explained everything I needed at the consultation, so I booked my full facelift, necklift and chin implant. The day of surgery I was excited but calm, because I knew I was in good hands. I was in and out of sleep during the 4 hour procedure and didn’t feel any discomfort whatsoever. I only took Tylenol for the next 3 days and didn’t need any pain meds! My healing process went exceptionally well and I’m thrilled with the results! Dr Lanfranci and his staff are the best of the best!
