What is a Facelift?

Facelift is a surgical procedure that can improve your appearance and restore a youthful and rested look by enhancing your chin and neck contours. If you have deep facial creases or wrinkles, this procedure may be of interest to you.

What is Involved?

  • The procedure is done as a day surgery at our plastic surgery center in Vancouver. If combined with another procedure such as a neck lift or brow lift the patient may stay overnight in the Surgery Centre or have a nurse care for them in the comfort of their home.
  • We also have bed and breakfast owners with nursing experience that cater to our patients by picking them up at our Surgery Centre and caring for them as needed.
  • The incision is hidden in the contour of the ear, then extends around the earlobe and back into the hairline. Following surgery the incisions can be easily concealed by your hair or with makeup.

What is the Healing Time?

Facelift Vancouver

  • Discomfort is light and easily handled with oral medication.
  • The patient goes home with a head dressing which comes off the next day.
  • Most often there is a small drain which is removed in 12 to 24 hours.
  • Sutures are removed in 4 to 7 days.
  • Bruising and swelling may last 10-14 days, there may be some slight residual swelling for a few weeks.
  • The final result is evident in 4 to 6 weeks with continual improvement for several months.
  • Most people are back to normal activities in 3 weeks.

Who is a Good Candidate for a Facelift?

The ideal candidate is one who is beginning to show the signs of aging. However, the most important characteristic of an ideal candidate would be someone who is in overall good health and has realistic expectations of face lift surgery. Dr. Lee can address all candidacy questions during a face to face consultation and recommend other options to patients who don’t meet the requirements for face lift surgery.
