What is a Facelift?

A facelift, known as a rhytidectomy (surgical removal of wrinkles), can reduce some of the more visible signs of aging by smoothing the loose skin on your face and neck and tightening underlying tissue. As a result, your face will appear firmer and fresher, making you look younger.

If you are interested in a facelift, then please take a moment to schedule a meeting with Dr. David M. Turner in Austin, TX. He has assisted many men and women seeking facelifts throughout Texas, including patients hailing from Round Rock, San Marcos and other areas in and around Austin.

How are Facelifts Performed?

Our facelifts in Austin typically require a one- to two-day stay and are performed under general anesthesia. The surgery involves the skilled removal of excess facial skin from the neck, chin and cheek areas.

First, Dr. Turner starts an incision in the hair around your temple area. He follows the curves in front of the ear, around the earlobe and up behind the ear, before curving gently back into the hair again. Using these incisions on both sides of your face, the skin and deep tissues are remodeled and re-draped. Stitches secure layers of tissue and incisions, and metal clips may be used on the scalp. The facelift scars will be hidden around your ears or in your hairline and will usually fade over three to six months.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Facelift?

A facelift "lifts up" the facial skin and tissues and/or the underlying muscle to make your face tighter and smoother. A rhytidectomy is a highly individualized procedure, but may be a good option if you have:

• Realistic expectations: An optimal candidate in Austin will understand not only what facelifts can accomplish, but also the limitations.
• Good overall health: An ideal candidate will be generally healthy and will inform Dr. Turner of any pre-existing medical conditions well in advance.

What is the Recovery Process for a Facelift?

Complete recovery from facelift surgery normally takes between two to three weeks. However, you should be on your feet within two to three days after the operation. It is important not to carry out vigorous activities for the first five days after the surgery. You can return to work and resume most normal activities after three weeks and begin exercise after six weeks.
