facelift in Toledo

Nobody actually ’needs’ a facelift, but a facelift properly done by an experienced and board-certified plastic surgeon can correct many of the more frustrating signs of aging and restore a natural and youthful appearance. This can improve self-confidence and quality of life for appropriately selected patients. The most important consideration is finding a qualified plastic surgeon who you can trust to determine your best options.

EVOLV Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics offers many state-of-the-art, non-surgical options in addition to aesthetic surgery that can reduce the signs of aging and sun damage. These include laser resurfacing and light therapy, chemical peels, injectable options such as Botox and fillers to restore volume, PRP micro needling, advanced medical skin care, and many more. These options are often combined with a surgical plan such as a facelift to provide more comprehensive and long-lasting results. The fact is that properly performed surgical facelifts are in some cases the most effective and long-lasting aesthetic option and provide more natural results that cannot be achieved by another treatment.

Facelift costs will depend on many factors, including the extent of the surgery, whether other ancillary procedures planned, the type of anesthesia, location of the surgical facility, and other considerations. You will be provided with a specific and itemized surgical quote from our EVOLV Patient Coordinator explaining and detailing all related costs.

Not at all. Facelift techniques and approaches can vary significantly depending on the training and experience of the plastic surgeon and each patient’s unique aging patterns and goals. Dr. Barone believes that repositioning aging tissue, restoring volume, and skin health rather than ’skin pulling techniques’ are the most effective methods to restore a long lasting, balanced, and youthful appearance without an ‘operated’ or unnatural look.

Recovery or downtime after a facelift procedure will depend on the surgical technique and the number and extent of accompanying procedures and this should be individualized. It is helpful to remember that ‘recovery’ is a process and goes thru stages. At EVOLV Plastic Surgery, we have found that preparing and restoring optimal skin health with a personalized medical skincare program, extensive patient preoperative teaching and education, specific supplements for healing, post-operative lymphatic and sound wave massage, and LED phototherapy can significantly reduce downtime and improve healing. Our professional staff will review expected recovery times with you to assist with your post-procedure planning.

Facelift results and longevity are very much affected by numerous factors. These include patient age and genetics, pre/post treatment overall health and lifestyle, surgical technique, and approach and, most importantly, post-operative skin and aesthetic maintenance treatments. In our experience, deeper tissue repositioning with volume replacement and skin resurfacing provide the most natural looking and long-lasting facial rejuvenation results. A personalized medical skin care program will be recommended after surgery and, along with aesthetic maintenance treatments, can extend youthful results far longer than traditional facelift operative techniques.
