Surgery for the ageless
A facelift (rhytidectomy) is a cosmetic procedure that helps you look younger.
A facelift involves repositioning the skin and muscle on each side of the face and surgically altering the tissues beneath your skin to restore the contour of your face to a more youthful shape. Atlanta Facelift expert, Dr. Kerolus artfully uses her facelift techniques to reduce sagging skin, improve definition in the cheekbones and jawline, and correct other advanced signs of facial aging.
A facelift will take years off of your appearance. Your skin will be firmer, with fewer wrinkles and a more defined chin and jawline.
Your facelift results will leave you feeling revitalized & more confident. A facelift can be combined with many other procedures to enhance your overall aesthetic result.
Smooth out the wrinkles
If you have moderate wrinkles and increased skin laxity, you may be an excellent candidate for a facelift. People of all ages are candidates. However, most patients are in their 40s to their 60s. Candidates must first schedule a consultation with Dr. Kerolus to assess whether they are suitable for facial rejuvenation surgery or whether other treatments would be more effective in achieving their desired results. Patients considering this treatment frequently express concerns with sagging or loose skin, wrinkles that range from mild to severe, jowls that sag, sunken cheeks, double chin, or lack of jawline definition.
Candidates should be non-smokers in good health, without any ongoing medical conditions that could interfere with surgery or the recovery process.
Before surgery, you will be given twilight sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the operation.
Your facelift options include a deep plane facelift, a limited incision facelift, or a neck lift, depending on your concerns and the degree of improvement you'd like to see. To begin your procedure for a classic facelift Atlanta Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Kerolus will make an incision in the hairline at the temples, which will extend around the ear, and end in the lower scalp. The deep layers of the face are released from their underlying attachments and redistributed to create a more youthful shape. Excess skin is removed and re-draped to create a smooth, natural-looking result. Sutures are used to meticulously close the incisions. Your incision lines are well hidden inside the hairline and in the face's natural contours once they have healed.
For a younger profile
The facelift recovery period after surgery varies depending on how extensive the procedure was. You can expect some bruising and swelling for one to two weeks after surgery. Keeping your head elevated and using cold compresses can help reduce swelling. For the first two to four days, you may want to have a friend or family member to help out. Most Atlanta facelift patients return to social activities in seven-ten days. Exercise should be avoided for two to four weeks following surgery. It is crucial that you follow Dr. Kerolus' post-procedure instructions to achieve the best results.
Erase the years
In some cases, it takes four weeks for a person to recover from a facelift enough to resume daily activities. However, it will most likely take three to five months before you see your final results. These results should have you looking ten years younger. While you will continue to age, your results are considered permanent, as you will be aging from a place that looks far younger than your numerical age. If you have your facelift at 50 and it makes you look a decade younger, then when you’re 60, you’ll look like you're 50. It’s like taking your face back in time!

The experience of pain can vary from person to person, but it's common for individuals to experience some discomfort or mild pain following a facelift procedure. Surgeons typically take measures to manage pain during and after the surgery, such as the use of anesthesia and prescribed pain medications. Dr. Kerolus will discuss your options for pain management during your consultation.
Possible risks may include the rare occurrence of fluid accumulation, temporary pain during the recovery process, a low risk of infection, minimal bleeding, and the potential for discreet scarring. However, advancements in surgical techniques and careful post-operative care have significantly reduced the likelihood of experiencing these complications. Before undergoing a facelift, thorough consultations with a qualified surgeon are crucial to understanding the specific risks and benefits tailored to individual circumstances.
You should expect to feel dizzy and tired for several hours following your procedure. You will need to have someone drive you home and stay with you for the first 24-48 hours after your discharge.
