How is a Facelift Performed?

During a facelift procedure:

1. Anesthesia: The surgery begins with the administration of anesthesia, typically general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on your specific needs.
2. Incisions: Dr. Riccio will make discreet incisions, often hidden within the hairline and around the ears, to access the underlying facial tissues.
3. Tissue Adjustment: He will then carefully reposition and tighten the underlying facial muscles and tissues to create a firmer foundation.
4. Excess Skin Removal: Any excess skin is precisely trimmed away, eliminating wrinkles and sagging.
5. Closing Incisions: The incisions are meticulously closed with sutures, ensuring minimal scarring.
6. Recovery: You will be closely monitored as you awaken from anesthesia, and any initial discomfort will be managed. Afterward, you will need someone to drive you home.
7. Postoperative Care: Dr. Riccio will provide detailed postoperative instructions, including guidance on incision care, managing swelling, and follow-up appointments.
