Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a facelift last?
Facelift results typically last 10-15 years, though individual results may vary. The longevity depends on factors such as age, skin quality, lifestyle habits, and genetics. While a facelift cannot stop the natural aging process, it can significantly turn back the clock and delay the need for future procedures.
Will a facelift look natural?
Yes, Dr. Nichols uses advanced techniques to achieve natural-looking results that enhance your features while maintaining your unique facial characteristics. The goal is to create a refreshed, youthful appearance that looks like a better version of yourself, not like you've had surgery.
What is the difference between a facelift and a mini facelift?
A traditional facelift addresses the entire face and neck area with more extensive incisions and tissue repositioning. A mini facelift focuses on the lower face and jawline with smaller incisions and less extensive changes. Dr. Nichols will recommend the best approach based on your individual needs and goals.
Can a facelift be combined with other procedures?
Yes, facelifts are commonly combined with other facial procedures such as eyelid surgery, brow lift, or injectable treatments for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Dr. Nichols will discuss the best combination of procedures for your individual needs during your consultation.
What is the recovery like after a facelift?
Recovery from a facelift typically involves 1-2 weeks of rest and limited activity, with most patients returning to light activities within 2-3 weeks. Swelling and bruising are most prominent in the first week and gradually subside over several weeks. Complete healing and optimal results are typically achieved within 3-6 months.
