Wrinkles and fine lines are a natural part of aging, but they still interfere with physical appearance making you look older, tired, and sometimes unapproachable. You may not be able to stop your aging process, but you can delay it by a few years using minimally invasive procedures. Fortunately, Dr. Pasorek offers New York face & neck lift approaches that defy the aging process allowing you to enjoy your youthfulness for a while longer.
When should you consider a neck lift?
A neck lift refers to a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that eliminates excess fat and skin from your neck, reducing the appearance of the signs of aging and enhancing your neck’s appearance. This cutting-edge treatment may not stop your aging process, but it delays the appearance of the aging signs making you look younger than your actual age. During a neck lift, your provider administers local anesthesia to numb the surgical part, preventing you from experiencing pain.
Dr. Pastorek and his team often use liposuction to complete the procedure. They make tiny incisions under your chin and behind your ear to access the excess fat in your neck. Liposuction gives your neck a slimming effect that enhances your neck’s appearance by looking-slender and attractive. Your provider discusses your desired results and creates a custom treatment to exceed your expectations and ensure you feel better about yourself.
What should you expect during a facelift?
A facelift is a state-of-art cosmetic procedure that restores your attractive youthful appearance by tightening sagging skin and smoothing out wrinkles and skin folds around your jawline and cheeks. Dr. Pastorek uses the deep plane facelift technique to maximize your results. This approach elevates your facial skin and relocates the jowl fat and fallen cheek to the original position, enhancing your general appearance.
During the surgery, your provider creates a tiny traditional facelift incision along your hairline and a limited incision to remove excess skin from your cheeks and restore your youthfulness. Dr.Pastorek modifies your surgery to ensure that you begin enjoying the dramatic results as soon as possible with little to no amount of downtime.
A facelift offers more complete results than a traditional facelift because it addresses all the tissue in your face, leaving unnoticeable scars that don’t interfere with your beauty. In some cases, Dr. Pastorek may recommend combining a facelift and a neck lift to maximize your results.
What should you expect during the recovery period?
After a neck lift and facelift, you may note some mild bruising, numbness, pain, and swelling, which resolves within a short while. You may conceal these side effects with makeup until they disappear. Your doctor may also offer a unique garment to compress your neck, reducing the swelling.
These side effects often disappear a week after the surgery. Until you fully recover, Dr. Pastorek advises against exposing your skin to direct sun and wearing comfortable clothes to prevent reopening the incisions. If you experience severe pain on one side of your neck or face, irregular heartbeats, or shortness of breath, inform your provider immediately.
