Facelift Plastic Surgery Procedures - Nashville, Tennessee

As you age, years of UV-ray exposure, stress, and pollutants cause bothersome wrinkles to etch themselves into your skin. Your skin can make you look older than you feel. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. DeLozier and Nashville plastic surgeon Dr. Robbins make it their priority to counteract the harsh aging process by giving you a more youthful appearance through facial cosmetic surgery.

Facelifts reverse the effects of gravity, exposure to the sun and daily stress by removing your excess skin and sculpting the soft tissues beneath. If you have extra skin hanging from your neck, a rhytidectomy (facelift) procedure at DeLozier Robbins Plastic Surgery in Nashville may be the answer you’ve been seeking.

Your Individual Goals

Your goals will be discussed realistically with Nashville plastic surgeon Dr. DeLozier or Dr. Robbins. Facelifts are often performed in conjunction with other facial surgeries, including a forehead lift (brow lift) or blepharoplasty for your eyelids. Together you will decide which procedures he will perform in order to achieve your desired results.

He will tighten your muscle and skin tissues as well as remove any excess skin.

Recovery from Facelift Surgery in Nashville

Initially, your Nashville facelift plastic surgeon will probably ask you to keep your head elevated for a couple of days to prevent blood from collecting. The drainage tube will be removed the day after your facelift procedure.

Your face may be puffy for a couple of weeks. You may also feel some numbness for a couple of weeks or months following a facelift. The scars will become less noticeable after a few weeks. At that point, most patients are very happy with the results of facelift cosmetic surgery.
