Murfreesboro’s Facelift

Smooth Away Years Off Your Face

A facelift, technically known as a rhytidectomy, can remove visible signs of facial aging. The cheeks and jowls can be lifted, giving a more youthful appearance. When done properly, very few signs of the actual procedure should be visible. At Webb Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in Murfreesboro, we strive not to completely change your appearance, but rather to achieve an aesthetically pleasing balance.

Our training and experience allow the opportunity to tailor the procedure to your unique facial characteristics. We are well versed in the latest procedures addressing the face, not just from a superficial skin viewpoint, but rather from the underlying layers that truly can give great, long lasting results.

Consider a facelift if you have:

  • Sagging skin, muscles, and fat in the face or neck
  • Excess skin and fat on the neck
  • Sagging jaw line
  • Crease lines along the nose, mouth, or chin

Benefits of a facelift include:

  • Smooth, sculpted features
  • Full, contoured face
  • Taut, youthful skin

Frequently Asked Questions About Facelifts

A facelift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that aims to create a more youthful facial appearance. It involves the removal of excess facial skin, with or without the tightening of underlying tissues, and the redraping of the skin on the patient’s face and neck.
Ideal candidates are generally those who have noticeable facial sagging and skin laxity, usually individuals in their 40s to 70s, are healthy without medical conditions that impair healing, do not smoke, and have realistic expectations about the outcome of the surgery.
The procedure typically involves incisions along the hairline, around the ears, and possibly under the chin. Through these incisions, the surgeon can reposition deeper tissues, remove excess skin, and then redrape and suture the skin back in place. The techniques can vary depending on the desired outcomes and the individual’s anatomy.
Yes, there are several types, ranging from “mini-lifts” that focus on the lower face and require smaller incisions to more extensive procedures that address the entire face and neck.
Recovery times can vary, but most patients can return to normal activities within two to three weeks. It may take several months for swelling to subside entirely and incision lines to mature.
Yes, but a skilled surgeon will typically place incisions in discreet locations, like along the hairline or behind the ears, to minimize visible scarring. Over time, these incision lines should fade and become barely noticeable.
The results can last for many years. While the procedure can turn back the clock, aging will continue. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and skincare routine can help prolong the results.
Yes, this procedure is often combined with other procedures such as eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), forehead lifts, or skin resurfacing techniques to enhance the overall rejuvenation effect.
Choose a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in facial cosmetic surgery. It’s vital to review before-and-after photos, check references, and have a thorough consultation to discuss your goals and expectations.
Since this procedure is considered a cosmetic procedure, it is typically not covered by health insurance. However, if the procedure is being performed for reconstructive purposes, partial coverage may be possible.
Your surgeon will provide specific instructions, including stopping certain medications, applying special preoperative skin care products, arranging post-surgery support from friends or family, and avoiding smoking.
During the initial recovery period, you should expect some bruising, swelling, and discomfort that can be controlled with medication. You’ll need to keep your head elevated and may have drains and bandages. Follow-up visits will be necessary to monitor healing.
