STEP BY STEP FACIAL SURGERY
Facial rejuvenation procedures can be divided into two main categories: nonsurgical treatments such as botulinum protein, hyaluronic acid injections, and skin treatments such as microneedling/ radiofrequency; and surgical treatments such as facelift.
Our appearance changes continuously over time due to a number of factors. Aging and sun exposure lead to the appearance of lines in the skin commonly known as wrinkles. Characterized by loss of volume in the soft tissue and a decrease in muscle tone, the skin of the eyelids, face, chin and neck sags and loses its shape.
In the case of a deep plane facelift, deep tissues are lifted and tightened. Excess skin and fat tissue are removed from the face and neck, giving them a more youthful appearance. It results in tighter, lifted and smoother skin on the face and neck. The benefits are significant. Patients considering a face and neck lift wish to regain a youthful appearance. They often describe their faces as “tired” while this does not reflect their actual energy level or youthful
outlook.
This procedure can be combined with a neck lift, brow lift, blepharoplasty (eyelid lift procedure), fat injections etc. in order to rejuvenate the entire face at once.

RECOVERY TIMELINE AFTER A FACELIFT
Healing from a facelift is a step-by-step journey, with noticeable improvements at each stage. Here’s a detailed timeline to guide your expectations:
First Week:
Swelling and bruising will peak during the initial days but can be effectively managed with prescribed medications and cold compresses. It’s essential to rest with your head elevated and avoid strenuous activities. Short, gentle walks are encouraged to promote healthy circulation and reduce the risk of blood clots.
Two Weeks:
Sutures or staples are typically removed, and noticeable swelling and bruising begin to subside. You can resume light activities, such as returning to work or social engagements, depending on your comfort level. Makeup may be used to conceal any residual discoloration.
One Month:
By this stage, swelling significantly decreases, and your enhanced contours become more defined. Many patients feel confident going out without concealing their results. While most daily activities can be resumed, vigorous exercise and heavy lifting should still be avoided to ensure proper healing.
Four to Six Weeks:
Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least six weeks after surgery. Short walks are encouraged to promote circulation, but activities like running, weightlifting, and intense workouts should wait until cleared by Dr. Zadeh.
Three to Six Months:
Residual swelling continues to diminish, and scars gradually fade into discreet, nearly invisible lines. Your results will appear more natural and refined. You can confidently enjoy your rejuvenated, youthful appearance, knowing the most significant part of your recovery is complete.
Long-Term Results
With proper skincare, a healthy lifestyle, and sun protection, your facelift results can last 10 to 15 years. Maintenance treatments such as non-surgical skin tightening or skincare regimens can also help extend your youthful appearance.
FAQ
Answers to Frequently Asked Questions About Facelift Surgery Below
How long is the recovery period? Are there any restrictions in terms of activities ?
You must avoid any intense physical exercise during the first two to three weeks following your surgery in order to give your body a chance to heal comfortably. You can resume your normal physical activities four to six weeks after your surgery. It is important for you to listen to your body. It will tell you if you are ready to exercise and how much exercise you can handle. Pain or discomfort when exercising is a sign that your body is not quite healed and that it would be better to wait a few weeks before trying again.
Moreover, it is important to avoid prolonged sun exposure to allow optimal healing of your scars. It is recommended to apply sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 50 when you go outdoors, regardless of weather conditions, to protect your face.
Deep Plane Facelifts vs. Traditional Facelifts
A deep plane facelift releases and lifts deep connective tissues of the face in the folds of the mouth and jowls.
A deep plane facelift starts at the line from the back of the jawline and up into the corner of the eye where soft tissue begins to fall.
Once the deep connective tissues are released, they are anchored and resuspended to create a natural yet dramatic improvement in appearance. A deep plane facelift will give you a more natural /long-lasting result than a traditional facelift.
Who is a good candidate for a Deep Plane Facelift?
The ideal patient for this procedure is in good general health, physically fit and at an ideal body weight (or has reached a stable weight after significant weight loss).
This surgery may not be suitable for you if you have complex health issues for which you are currently being treated. If you are significantly overweight, it is recommended you lose some weight before surgery to ensure the most aesthetically appealing result and decrease your risk of complications. Furthermore, this procedure is not performed on patients who are not psychologically prepared for surgery.
Will I be under anesthesia during surgery?
This surgery can be done under general anesthesia, where you will be completely asleep for the duration of the procedure. In other words, you’ll be blissfully unaware throughout the surgery.
You can also have surgery under local anesthesia with conscious sedation. Your face will be anesthetized (frozen) using injections (like at the dentist) and you will receive intravenous medication that will make you sleepy and disassociated from events for the duration of the procedure.
How can I control pain at home?
Prior to surgery, Dr Zadeh will write you a prescription for pain medication. That way, the medication will be at your disposal once you arrive home from the surgery.
Note: Make sure Dr. Zadeh knows about pain medications that have caused you problems in the past.
