What Can a Facelift Accomplish?

When it comes to rejuvenating your facial appearance, there are many things a facelift can do. When performed by Dr. Scarpidis, the procedure can:

• Redefine your facial contours
• Sculpt a lifted and youthful facial appearance
• Restore a more defined and contoured jawline
• Elevate sagging cheeks
• Eliminate deep folds and heavy jowls
• Restore a youthful and refreshed overall look

With an ability to produce a refined and natural appearance for his patients, few surgeons are more qualified than Dr. Scarpidis to rejuvenate your face and rediscover your youthful look. One of the reasons his results are so exquisite is because he aims to rebuild the foundation of the facial structure during surgery. 

Dr. Scarpidis carefully tightens the muscles and underlying tissue, while permanently repositioning them to a more youthful location. By addressing these foundational signs of aging – in addition to the surface wrinkles, deep folds, and loose skin – Dr. Scarpidis can easily take 10 years off your appearance, allowing you to progress through the aging process as gracefully as possible.

To be considered an ideal candidate for a facelift with Scarpidis Aesthetics, there are a few characteristics you should possess. For example, your skin needs to have decent elasticity so it can be sculpted and elevated to remove the wrinkles, and you’ll need a strong underlying bone structure to provide support for your new contours. Also, you should be in good general health and at least 40 years of age – though younger patients may be considered candidates in certain circumstances.

As there are countless facelift procedures and techniques available today, you and Dr. Scarpidis will spend a substantial amount of time weighing your options and planning for your surgery. Dr. Scarpidis truly believes in a personalized approach for every patient, and he will work closely with you to determine which blend of surgical techniques is in your best interest:

• Traditional Full Facelift – The entire face is rejuvenated to address advanced aging.
• Mini or Mid Facelift – Younger patients interested in correcting the earliest signs of aging can choose this preventative procedure.
• Lower Facelift – Address signs of aging around your mouth, neck, and jaw.

No matter which facelift technique is selected, your procedure at Scarpidis Aesthetics will be performed with your safety, comfort, and results in mind. Under the anesthesia of your choosing, Dr. Ulysses H. Scarpidis will create discreet, carefully placed incisions to access the underlying structures of your face.

He will then tighten the supporting muscles, refine fat deposits, and gently lift and reposition the skin to restore youthful, harmonious contours. Every step is taken with precision to ensure a smooth, natural outcome and minimal, well-concealed scarring once healing is complete.

Dr. Scarpidis will provide detailed recovery instructions following your facelift procedure to ensure optimal healing and results. For instance, it’s important to keep your head elevated while resting, apply cold compresses as directed, and take prescribed medications to manage any discomfort. You should plan to take at least one to two weeks off from work and avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and vigorous exercise for several weeks.

Throughout your recovery, it’s crucial to avoid smoking, excessive sun exposure, and any activities that could strain the face. Most patients can return to light daily activities within a week, though complete recovery typically takes several months. Dr. Scarpidis will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure you’re healing properly, allowing you to confidently enjoy your rejuvenated appearance.
