Refresh & Rejuvenate Your Features with a Face Lift

*According to the Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

Although injectable treatments including BOTOX® Cosmetic can help smooth out some lines and wrinkles, a face lift is the only method that Dr. Boudreaux and Dr. Claiborne can use to tighten the underlying muscles, remove excess skin, and improve your facial contours. So if you have sagging skin or deep wrinkles throughout your face, a face lift is considered the most effective way to address these concerns. 

Because a face lift is a surgical procedure, it also offers longer-lasting results than non-surgical skin rejuvenation. 

Your pre-surgery consultation is extremely important because a full face lift is customized to meet your needs. Dr. Boudreaux and Dr. Claiborne will analyze your medical history, inquire about your cosmetic goals, and determine the best approach to ensure optimal results.

Initial recovery from facelift surgery may take several weeks. It can take up to a year to see your final results. During the healing period, it is normal to experience swelling and bruising. After your procedure, you will need to wear a compression bandage for the first three days. You will have checkups with Dr. Boudreaux and Dr. Claiborne:

• The day after surgery
• One week following your procedure
• One month post-op

During these visits, they will monitor your healing and guide you in your recovery process to ensure your safety. Typically, you can return to work after about two weeks.

Once you have fully healed and swelling has subsided, you will see a drastic change in your appearance. However, Dr. Boudreaux and Dr. Claiborne focus on provided natural-looking results that enhance your unique features to avoid an overdone appearance. Dr. Boudreaux and Dr. Claiborne will work with you to address your specific insecurities and help you look and feel your best. After your facelift, your skin should appear smoother, tighter, and younger. The boost in confidence helps many patients experience an improvement in their overall quality of life.

When you look in the mirror, do you notice signs of aging? Do you wish you could achieve a more rejuvenated appearance? If so, you may benefit from a full face lift performed by Dr. Benjamin Boudreaux or Dr. Jeffrey Claiborne at their New Orleans Metro-area practice. Advanced training and surgical techniques allow Dr. Boudreaux and Dr. Claiborne to do much more than simply tighten loose skin. A full face lift typically involves the repositioning of underlying tissue, removal of excess or sagging skin, the elimination of excess fat, and the redistribution of fat to areas lacking in volume. Thanks to Dr. Boudreaux’s and Dr. Claiborne's experience, skill, and dedication to long-lasting cosmetic results, you can enjoy a refreshed appearance for years to come.
