EXPERIENCED FACELIFT SURGEON IN AUSTIN

A facelift is a cosmetic procedure that removes loose skin and tightens facial muscles to give the face a smoother and more youthful appearance. This procedure, also referred to as rhytidectomy, is a semi-permanent option for patients who have lost elasticity, causing wrinkles and sagging.

Facelifts are simple surgical procedures designed to restore the patient’s youthful appearance and minimize the traces that time has left on their face and neck. Don’t let this common problem impact your looks and weaken your confidence. If you are looking for a long-lasting, risk-free solution, start by visiting Dr. Bittar’s Beau Visage Center. We are one of the most sought-after facilities in the Austin area specializing in both surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures.

HOW DOES A SURGEON PERFORM A FACELIFT?

Rhytidectomy is a common procedure that can be broken down into 4 different phases:

First, Dr. Bittar will administer medication to ensure comfort throughout the whole process. General anesthesia and IV sedation are the most common alternatives at hand; Dr. Bittar will indicate the most suitable one for you.

Next, Dr. Bittar will start by making incisions. You should know that there are three types of rhytidectomy surgery: neck lift, limited-incision facelift, and traditional facelift. The surgeon will help you choose the type that works best for you according to your specific needs and the degree of improvement that you’re hoping to see. During this phase, fat is usually redistributed around the neck, jowls, and face. Dr. Bittar will also re-position underlying tissue and trim excess skin.

The third step entails Dr. Bittar carefully closing the incisions.

The fourth phase (facelift surgery recovery) begins once the procedure is complete. During this stage, the surgeon and patient will analyze and evaluate the result to ensure healing is progressing smoothly. Swelling and bruising are expected during the first days after the operation. Dr. Bittar may place a bandage over your neck and face to help minimize these drawbacks and aid in a rapid, smooth recovery.

Don’t hesitate to ask additional questions related to your recovery time frame. As a competent, dependable surgeon, Dr. Bittar will offer you specific instructions associated with handling the surgical site, a medication that should be administered to aid healing, and so on.
