Full Face Lift

A full face lift is designed to completely rejevenate all parts of the face with a single surgery and recovery period. The term “full face lift” commonly refers to surgery that addresses the forehead and eyebrows, the eyes, and the face below the eyes which include the neck. Commonly this combination is referred to as a Brow Lift, Eye Lift (blepharoplasty), and a face lift. The term face lift commonly refers to the correction of signs of aging to include the face, the jawline, and neck.

Full Face Lift Procedure

Generally, the full face lift will improve deep wrinkes of the forehead and between the eyebrows, while placing the eyebrows to a more youthful arched position (Brow Lift). The eyes are made fresher and crisper by removing excess skin and fat leaving a much more relaxed and less fatigued appearance (eye lift or blepharoplasty). The face lift improves the contours of the cheeks and treats jowls that have formed by removing sagging skin and elevating facial fat to its original youthful position, improving and highlighting one’s bone structure, while providing a more voluptuous appearance. Finally, the face lift will improve neck contour by eliminating loose skin, tightening the muscles of the neck, and improving muscle banding that gives patients a “turkey gobbler”. These procedures, when done with technical expertise, leave one with essentially invisible scars allowing this to remain your secret.

Full Face Lift Recovery

Patients have minimal to no pain after a full face lift, and are generally back socializing after two to three weeks after surgery. Mild bruising and swelling can occur, but this rapidly subsides. All sutures are removed by 10 days after surgery.

Full Face Lift Results

The results of a full face lift are incredibly satisfying for patients as renewed self-confidence and vigor for life result from a natural and more youthful appearance. When performed by Dr. Shapiro, a Scottsdale full face lift surgeon, this combination of procedures result in some of the most appreciative and truly transformed patients who find that their expectations have been greatly exceeded.
