Ideal candidates for facelift surgery are in good general health and wish to correct visible lines and wrinkles on their entire face or just part of it. It's important to understand that a specific age does not necessarily mark the time in life for men to have a facelift. There are countless factors that may influence a person's decision to undergo this procedure, but no matter the reason, there are numerous lift techniques that we can use to address your unique concerns. The technique chosen will vary for patients who are in their 30s versus those who are older, such as those who are 60 or 70 years old. Skin laxity is one of the key components in the decision-making process. 

Depending on your individual needs, there are numerous facelift techniques to consider. Some facelifts treat the upper portion of the face while others focus on the middle and lower. In addition, some methods are slightly more invasive and intricate than others. It's common for some patients to have a brow lift or BOTOX and fillers to complement their outcomes. Some of the more common facelift methods include:

• Full Facelift
  Considered the gold standard, the full or "traditional" facelift generally makes an incision along the hairline, extending down to the area near the temples, and stopping near the base of the ears. The underlying facial tissue and muscles are delicately stretched and safely tightened to produce a lifted appearance, which softens excessive wrinkles and sagging. The traditional facelift is used for patients who have visible, aggressive signs of aging. During a full facelift, many methods may be used, including an eyelid lift to address the eyes or a neck lift for the lower region.
• Mid-Facelift
  With a similar method to the mini lift, the mid-facelift addresses the hollow and lax areas around the cheekbones as well as the upper jaw and jowls. Fat grafting is often used during this procedure to help amplify the final outcome. The mid-facelift works great for those who seek improvement in the middle to lower region of their face.
• Lower Facelift
  This lift addresses lax skin in or around the chin, jowls, and neck. Nonsurgical treatments, such as KYBELLA injections can also be incorporated into this method to help attain a younger-looking neckline.
• Mini Facelift
  During a mini facelift, a tiny incision is placed near the ears to elevate the skin, which enhances the mouth and jawline. This process creates nice and subtle enhancements that look natural.

Following your procedure, we will monitor your health before releasing you to be taken home by a responsible adult. In addition, Dr. Cho or someone on our staff will schedule your follow-up visits and provide post-treatment instructions to help you heal faster. You should expect to experience bruising and swelling, as well as some moderate soreness and discomfort, which prescription pain medication can help reduce. Optimal healing usually occurs after about a month, at which time you can expect a softer and younger-looking appearance. Overall, your face will appear slightly lifted and rejuvenated.

Which technique is best for me?
The recommended technique for you will depend on your concerns, goals, level of skin laxity, treatment areas, and other factors. During your initial consultation, Dr. Cho can talk to you about the benefits and limitations of each method to determine which one may be ideal for you.

Should I get a surgical or nonsurgical facelift?
Although we offer several nonsurgical facelift procedures, such as liquid facelifts and Silhouette InstaLift, these options usually only produce mild improvements. If you have moderate to severe skin sagging, facelift surgery is probably the best choice to improve your appearance. During your consultation, Dr. Cho will discuss your options, including nonsurgical procedures, to help you choose which is best for your cosmetic goals.

Will my results look natural?
Some patients worry that facelift surgery will make their skin look overly tight, or like they live in a wind tunnel. Dr. Cho focuses on giving you results that look natural so that you appear refreshed, not fake. He listens to your needs and goals before creating your personal treatment plan with the technique likely to produce your best results.

What about wrinkle fillers and relaxers over facelift surgery?
Wrinkle fillers and relaxers, like Juvéderm and BOTOX, have become more popular to refresh the face. Also known as a liquid facelift, injectable wrinkle treatments can give early signs of aging; however, the results are temporary. A facelift will produce more significant improvements than injectables with long-lasting results. Ask Dr. Cho about nonsurgical wrinkle treatments during your consultation.

How much does a facelift cost?
The cost of your facelift will depend on the technique and other factors. During your consultation, Dr. Cho will develop your unique treatment plan based on your needs and goals. When this is complete, He can go over estimates of fees. To avoid unnatural-looking results, it's best to focus on finding a skilled surgeon, like Dr. Cho, instead of the cheapest price. Chiseled can give you information on low-interest medical financing that will make your surgery easier to afford.

How long do the results of a facelift last?
The results of a facelift are long-lasting but not permanent, as the natural aging process continues over time. With proper care and maintenance, including a healthy lifestyle, sun protection, and regular skin care, the results of a facelift can typically last for 7 – 10 years or more. Some patients may choose to undergo additional cosmetic procedures or nonsurgical treatments to maintain their rejuvenated appearance as needed.

Facelift surgery can turn back the hands of time for your face and give you a rejuvenated appearance. Today, there are a wide variety of choices for surgery based on your personal concerns and goals. This surgery is meant to make men look younger but natural. To learn more, we welcome you to contact Chiseled in Spring, TX to schedule your private consultation with Dr. Cho.
