One of the normal effects of ageing is that the face loses elasticity and volume

Your Facelift at Avenue Aesthetic Surgery

As we age, our skin loses its tone, elasticity and volume. Our approach to facelift surgery is to maintain the integrity and unique structure of your face.

After all, we understand the importance of a natural result and the desire to look refreshed rather than different after a facelift surgery. At Avenue Aesthetic Surgery, we utilize an approach designed to remove excess skin, tighten facial muscles, add volume and, importantly, avoid risk of injury to the facial nerves.

OUR APPROACH TO YOUR Facelift

Because every face is different a thorough evaluation will be performed at your consultation. In facelift surgery there is no room for error and therefore a no compromise, precision approach is required. A thorough knowledge of facial anatomy is required and a range of procedures are available. Minimal incisions produce imperceptible scarring, the facial muscles are carefully tightened while avoiding damage to the underlying nerves and the excess skin is removed. This provides a long lasting lift of the neck and jowls while preventing an over stretched appearance. Your own fat is then strategically used to add volume in a natural way.

Recovery typically involves wearing a compression band around the head for 2 weeks. We recommend no heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for approximately 4 weeks following surgery. Most of our patients return to relatively normal activity and sedentary work after 1 week.

All surgery carries risks which are important to understand so that you make a well-informed decision. Complications associated with facelift include bleeding/hematoma, infection, skin necrosis (skin death/loss), hairline alterations, skin numbness, nerve injury, poor scarring, deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in the legs) and anesthetic complications.

This listing is not all-inclusive and patients may be at risk for additional complications depending on their past medical and surgical history. A thorough discussion will occur during consultation with your surgeon including ways to mitigate risks prior to surgery and steps taken to treat complications should they occur.
