If you are looking to “turn back the clock” and see a fresh and more youthful appearance when you look in the mirror, talk to your plastic surgeon about the benefits of a facelift. Using minimally invasive techniques, your surgeon can tighten your neck, jowls and sagging skin taking years off of your appearance. Once you have decided that a facelift is the best option for your needs, you will need to get ready for your appointment. Take a look at some steps that you may need to take to prepare for a facelift.
Consult with the Plastic Surgeon
Prior to scheduling a facelift procedure, you will need to schedule a consultation with your plastic surgeon. Do your homework. You should seek out a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. This differs greatly from the Board of Cosmetic Surgery which is a “fake” board that you simply pay a fee and are a member. The ABPLS has training and ethical standards that all members must follow. You should also look for a plastic surgeon who is a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. A member of this society primarily performs cosmetic procedures and membership is voted on and approved by peers. During your consultation, you should discuss your goals with your surgeon. Arrive prepared with questions you have for your surgeon. You will discuss your recovery time, risks and expectations for the procedure as well as any steps that you may need to take prior to surgery.
Arrange for Your Recovery
Recovery from a facelift can take several days. Before the date of your appointment, ask a friend or family member to pick you up from your procedure. Once you are at home, make sure that you have a restful place to spend time during your recovery period.
