The Facelift Procedure at Chevy Chase Facial Plastic Surgery
When getting a facelift at Dr. Porter’s office, it’s important to remember that the facelifts of today are much different than those of the past when doctors took a one-size-fits-all approach to this cosmetic procedure. In earlier years, doctors would merely stretch and tighten the facial skin and men and women would often look windblown or done up.
Thank goodness for new and advanced techniques! During your facelift procedure, Dr. Porter won’t try to make you look a certain age, but instead, her goal will be to give you natural-looking results and make you look like a younger, more refreshed version of yourself.
During a facelift, Dr. Porter will focus on:
Tightening and smoothing the skin on the mid to lower portions of the face
Removing jowls
Removing the excess skin on your neck
Improving the appearache of the jawline
That being said, there is no set guideline for how young a Washington, DC patient will look after their facelift. There are several factors that will affect each patient’s results, such as;
The extent of wrinkles due to sun exposure
The degree of skin laxity
The overall health of the patient
The patient’s age
On average, patients who see Dr. Porter for a facelift should expect to look between 5 and 10 years younger, though it is possible for men and women to look even younger under the experienced hand of Dr. Porter. Additionally, if patients choose to have additional surgeries at the same time that they receive their facelifts, such as a brow lift or eyelid surgery, they could experience more balanced results.
