Frequently Asked Questions
Most patients enjoy the results from a facelift and neck lift for 10 years or longer.
A facelift resets the clock on aging, but it does not stop the natural aging process. Your face will maintain its improved contours throughout your life.
Healthy habits, like staying hydrated, avoiding smoking, and using sun protection, can protect your results. We may also recommend nonsurgical aesthetic procedures, like dermal fillers or laser skin resurfacing, to sustain your results.
You may be a good candidate for a facelift if you are in good health and do not smoke. If you want lasting improvements for sagging skin, jowls, or loose neck tissue, a facelift and neck lift could be a great option for you.
During your consultation, your surgeon evaluates the health and laxity of your skin and your facial structure. They’ll learn about your aesthetic goals to determine if a facelift is the best approach for you.
The difference between Avant’s facelift in South Jordan and nonsurgical treatments is the intention and duration of results.
Nonsurgical options, like injectables and skin treatments, often address early signs of aging, like fine lines and hyperpigmentation. However, they cannot substantially lift sagging skin or remove excess tissue. A facelift addresses the structures beneath your skin: muscles and fat pads. Results last years, not months.
Many patients use both types of services: surgery for the foundation, nonsurgical treatments for maintenance.
A deep plane facelift is an advanced surgical procedure that includes the repositioning of deeper facial muscles and fat pads to restore a youthful appearance. Drs. Howland and Maglić make adjustments to fat pad and muscular adjustments in the midface, then lift the skin vertically to prevent excessive tension or a pulled look.
No, facelifts and neck lifts do not leave obvious scars. Your surgeon can conceal incisions within the natural creases around your ears and along your hairline. Surgical scars typically soften and lighten over the first year.
Most healed facelift scars are difficult to spot, even at close range. Your aftercare instructions will include steps that support safe healing.
When scheduling your appointment for a neck lift and facelift in South Jordan, plan for 2 to 4 weeks of downtime. It also helps to plan for 2 to 3 months of total recovery.
Most patients feel comfortable returning to desk work and social settings within 2 weeks, once early swelling and bruising fade. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should wait for surgeon approval, usually 4 to 6 weeks. Our Preparing for Surgery guide walks through recovery planning‌, from arranging help at home to setting up a comfortable healing space.
