What is A Facelift?
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at reducing visible signs of aging in the face and neck by tightening sagging skin and underlying tissues. The procedure typically involves incisions around the ears and hairline, followed by the removal of excess skin and lifting of deeper facial structures to create a more youthful appearance. There are various types of facelifts, including traditional, mini, deep plane, and neck lifts, each targeting different areas. Recovery usually takes 2-4 weeks, with final results visible after several months, lasting about 7-10 years.
Recovery Time
Facelift patients can typically return to day-to-day activities within 10 days and light exercise within 3 weeks. It’s normal to experience bruising and swelling around the area, but this subsides most of the time within a week. Our team will supply prescription medications and aftercare steps on how to manage any
discomfort during your recovery. It’s important once you invest in surgery to protect your investment with
medical-grade skincare.
Facelift Before & Afters
Many patients say they look 10-20 years younger after their facelift procedure. Although these results are not permanent, facelift surgery significantly sets the clock back on skin aging so that you will continue to age more gracefully with a younger and more refreshed look. Dr. Tregaskiss prioritizes natural-looking results to enhance your facial features rather than change them completely. We encourage you to visit our facelift gallery for more before and after photos of our satisfied facelift patients.
Out-of-Town Facelift Patients
Dr. Tregaskiss has assisted many patients from northern BC, Yukon, Alberta, and other areas of the Pacific Northwest. We understand that many areas are remote and there is limited access to a qualified plastic surgeon, which is why we are dedicated to making the process as easy as possible for traveling patients. If you are considering a trip to Vancouver for your facelift procedure, our Cosmetic Coordinator and office staff will help you prepare for each step of your surgery and recovery.
