Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Paul Zwiebel can help you to reduce the visible signs of aging and restore a more youthful, vibrant appearance.
Facelift in Littleton and Denver, CO.
You may be a candidate for facelift plastic surgery if you have experienced a loss of skin elasticity and muscle tone of the face and neck. In Denver, facelift may also be desirable if you have the appearance of jowls and deep creases between the base of the nostrils and corners of the mouth.
In Denver, facelift may also be helpful if you believe you lack youthful chin and neck contours and feel you have a tired appearance. As performed in the Denver, Colorado region by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Paul C. Zwiebel, the results from a facelift are long-lasting, and can “set the clock back” approximately ten years and restore a more refreshed, brighter, and less tired appearance. A facelift is intended to give a more rested and youthful contour to the face and neck.
The types of facelifts range in size from “mini” to “standard” depending on location and extent of skin laxity. Depending on the type of facelift best suited for you, Dr. Zwiebel may place incisions along the hairline, by the ear, below the chin, or in the crease in front of the ear and earlobe. Dr. Zwiebel will then lift the skin and trim and remove the excess. The support for the skin will then be tightened and lifted.
At his plastic surgery center in Littleton, Dr. Zwiebel performs facelifts on an outpatient basis under IV sedation. The patient goes home with the head and neck wrapped in dressings, which are usually removed the next day. Initial discomfort is minimal and easily controlled with oral medication. Sutures are removed within 7 to 14 days and bruising and swelling decreases to “socially acceptable” levels in 10 to 20 days. The final results are evident in four to six weeks or sooner, with continued improvement for several months. Like all surgical procedures facelift plastic surgery does entail some risk. Dr. Zwiebel encourages all patients to learn as much as possible about facelift plastic surgery and recovery before undergoing the procedure. Being board certified, Dr. Zwiebel encourages his patients to gather as much information as possible and to always feel comfortable about asking direct questions to his friendly staff.
