The individual case will also influence the price, as more extensive facelift procedures will take longer or require more skill. As a result, they will cost more.

These factors mean that the best way to get an accurate estimate on the price of a facelift is to book a consultation with the surgeon. You’ll get to know more about the procedure too.

Facelift recovery is most uncomfortable in the first few days. After the surgery, a bandage will be wrapped around the face with a tube placed under the skin behind the ear. This will drain any fluid or blood that may begin to collect under the skin.

There is likely to be pain felt following the surgery due to the incisions and swelling. However, analgesics will be given to improve the patient’s comfort. Elevating the head will help reduce swelling.

It is important to avoid stressful activities and to get enough sleep. After two weeks, most people will have recovered enough to resume work.

Depending on the complexities of the particular case and the technique used, a facelift will likely take anywhere from two to six hours.

The facial structure of males differs from that of females. What is expected of a masculine face is also different from the expectations for a feminine face. All of these will influence the techniques used in the procedure.

Men have thicker skin and stronger facial ligaments. This will involve more manipulation than in women. The presence of facial hair will also affect how incisions are placed. It is important to have a surgeon like Dr. Sinha who knows these differences by heart.

Determining the best time to do a facelift is up to you, the patient. People age differently, so some people will think they need a facelift at 40, while others might only think they need it once they’ve hit 60 or older.

If you are unhappy with the way your facial skin sags, then you are already a good candidate for a facelift. It all depends on whether you want it or not.

This video from Dr. Sinha will give you more insight into whether you are ready for the procedure or not.

While it is technically possible for a teenager to want to get a facelift, it is extremely rare to see anyone under the age of 30 have one done. This is simply because at this age, the effects of aging are not extreme enough to warrant the procedure. Most people will get a facelift done over the age of 40.

It is difficult to argue for a facelift being medically necessary, and as a result, it is very unlikely that any insurance plan will cover the costs of the procedure.

The best place to take a look at the changes that a facelift can have on a patient is on the website of your surgeon of choice. In the case of Dr. Sinha, you can find before and after photographs of facelift procedures near the bottom of this page.

Scheduling a consultation with Dr. Sinha is easy. You can visit the practice at 5730 Glenridge Drive, Atlanta GA, or schedule through a phone call if you’d prefer, by calling 404-256-5428.

Double board certification means that a physician has been certified by two different certification boards. In Dr. Sinha’s case, this is for Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and additionally Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery.

A double board certification such as this indicates a extremely deep knowledge of the head and neck area allowing the highest quality work both aesthetically and functionally.

Besides his double board certification, Dr. Sinha has been a surgeon over three decades, with thousands of procedures under his belt. He specializes in a narrow selection of facial cosmetic surgeries such as rhinoplasty, facelift, liquid facelift and blepharoplasty. This has allowed him to hone the techniques required for these procedures to a level few can match.

In addition to that, he is a fellow or member of several medical and surgical boards and associations. He was also considered one of the Top Doctors in America by Castle Connolly, with several other personal accolades.

Plastic surgeons are focused primarily on modifying a patient’s appearance or aesthetic to their liking. There is very specialized training to become a board certified plastic surgeon.

An otorhinolaryngologist, also known as an ENT (ears, nose, throat) surgeon, is one that specializes in treating conditions that afflict the base of the head, neck, ears, nose, and throat.

An ambulatory surgery center is one that specializes in same-day surgical cases. This means that a patient doesn’t need to be admitted overnight and can go home the same day they have their procedure done.

It is important to go to a certified center to reduce the risk of complications.

There are a lot of reasons to look towards a private surgery center for your surgical treatment. Here are some of the advantages:

• Private, discreet and concierge experience.
• Specialist care, as the personnel and facilities are all geared towards a specific surgical discipline, plastic surgery in this case.
• Convenience, as patients have more of a say in the specifics and the date that they want for their surgery.
• Wait times are better than can be found in most hospitals.
• Equipment and techniques are generally more up to date. When a surgery center has a particular discipline at its core, you can expect the equipment and personnel there to provide the very best care.
