Turn Back the Clock with a Full Facelift

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 at his New Orleans Metro-area practice. Advanced surgical techniques and technology allow Dr. Boudreaux 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 experience, skill, and dedication to long-lasting cosmetic results, you can enjoy a refreshed appearance for years to come. Contact Dr. Boudreaux today to find out if a full face lift is right for you.

Face Lift Candidates

A face lift can address deep creases, loose skin, and loss of volume and muscle tone. Candidates are typically between the ages of 40 and 70, and in good overall health. During an initial consultation, Dr. Boudreax can determine whether a full face lift is right for you.

Benefits and Treatment Areas

A full face lift enhances all the areas of the face and neck. Full facelift benefits can include:

• Reducing deep creases in the forehead
• Reducing crows feet and lines around and under the eyes
• Filling in cheeks that look sunken due to loss of tissue volume
• Reducing deep creases along the nasolabial folds
• Removing fat deposits under the cheeks
• Removing and tightening skin under the chin and along the neck using neck lift techniques

For even more comprehensive results, ask Dr. Boudreaux about including other procedures, such as blepharoplasty, with your facelift.

The Full Face Lift Procedure

Your pre-surgery consultation is extremely important because a full face lift is customized to meet your needs. Dr. Boudreaux will analyze your medical history, inquire about your cosmetic goals, and determine the best approach to ensure optimal results. Dr. Boudreaux performs face lift surgery in an outpatient surgery center, using the most trusted area facilities to ensure your comfort and safety. Before the procedure, a certified anesthesiologist or certified registered nurse anesthetist will administer general anesthesia. Next, Dr. Boudreaux will place strategic incisions that will allow him to tighten and reposition underlying tissues, remove excess fat, and eliminate loose skin. Then he will carefully drape the skin across the new contours of your face before closing the incision with sutures. 

After your facelift procedure, you will need to wear a compression bandage for the first three days, and a full recovery may take several weeks. You will have checkups with Dr. Boudreaux one day, one week, and one month after your procedure. During these visits, he will monitor your healing and guide you in your recovery process to ensure your safety.
