The Face lift, or Rhytidectomy, offers a rejuvenation of the aging face. Today more than ever, men and women are taking advantage of the face lift to achieve a more youthful appearance.

Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Stephen B. Anderson's area of specialization is cosmetic surgery of the face including face lifts. Seattle born and raised, over his twenty-plus years of experience, he has performed thousands of successful facial surgeries. Individual skin type, bone structure, age and skin elasticity are all carefully analyzed in consultations so Dr. Anderson can design each procedure for maximum improvement of each patient.

His skilled staff has been carefully selected for their expertise and caring manner.

During the facelift procedure underlying muscle and connective tissue are repositioned and tightened. Excess skin is removed. For men, the incision is aligned with the beard line. In all cases, the incision is placed in the natural creases of the skin for camouflage. The incisions are closed with fine sutures. A dressing is applied to protect the incisions. Patients may be driven home the same day by a family member or friend.

Although most facelift patients report very little pain after face lift surgery, medication will be prescribed. Some swelling and bruising are to be expected and may be minimized with cold compresses. Dressings will be removed at a follow-up examination in one to two days. All sutures are removed between five to ten days. Recovery from facelift surgery usually takes about ten days.

The final result of a facelift is a firmer, younger appearance to the lower face, jawline and neck areas. Though individual results may vary, patients report increased self-confidence in addition to the rejuvenating effects of their face lift.
