Facelift surgery remains one of the most effective ways to restore a youthful facial appearance. In Beverly Hills, patients expect refined, natural results that avoid an overdone look. Understanding the full process helps patients prepare with confidence. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. David Kim performs facelift for patients in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding locations.
Before Facelift Surgery
Preparation begins with a detailed consultation. Your surgeon evaluates facial anatomy, skin quality, and aging patterns to design a personalized surgical plan.
Preoperative instructions may include medication adjustments, lifestyle changes, and planning for recovery support.
During the Procedure
Facelift surgery repositions deeper facial tissues rather than simply tightening skin. This approach restores natural contours and reduces jowls, sagging, and deep folds.
The procedure is typically performed under anesthesia and may take several hours depending on the extent of correction.
Immediately After Surgery
Swelling, bruising, and tightness are expected during early recovery. Dressings may be applied, and patients are monitored closely before returning home.
Pain is usually manageable with prescribed medication.
Recovery Timeline
Most patients take one to two weeks off work. Swelling and bruising improve gradually, with continued refinement over several months.
Patients often feel comfortable returning to social activities before final results are fully visible.
Long-Term Results
A well-performed facelift can produce results that last many years. While aging continues, patients typically look refreshed and youthful long term.
