Deep Plane Mini Facelift Long Island NY

Smokers and people who are overweight are at a higher risk of developing surgical complications. Ideal candidates also have achievable expectations regarding their results. We highly recommend browsing through our mini facelift before and after photos to get an idea of what results you can expect. If you have not performed your own research to understand what this procedure can achieve, then you are setting yourself up for feelings of regret and disappointment. Surgery has limitations, and the only way to avoid those feelings is to temper those expectations with a thorough understanding.

The instructions can include changes to medication, direction to avoid certain drugs or supplements and a mandate to quit smoking. You should also plan to have a friend or loved one drive you to and from the surgery appointment. Since you will be having anesthesia, you cannot operate a vehicle after coming out of the Deep Plane Mini Facelift. It is also helpful to have that person with you during your first day or two of recovery and set up a recovery station with all the essentials you need to remain comfortable.

Once your anesthesia takes effect, your surgeon will begin with a small incision around both of your ears. The cuts are made in the hairline so they can be easily hidden, and with a Deep Plane Mini Facelift, the incision is so small it becomes virtually invisible within the hair. These cuts will then be used to remove excess skin and fat throughout the face. The tissue that remains is then pulled taut and redraped over your face. The incisions are then sutured together using dissolvable stitches, and you are sent to a different room to begin recovery.
