Whether you're looking for a subtle enhancement or a more dramatic change, the expertise in cosmetic surgery near you at Tulsa Surgical Arts can provide the results you are dreaming of.  although every patient is different, most patients feel as though they look nearly 10 years younger following a facelift.  The procedure can be especially transformative for those with severely sagging jowls and neck skin as well as extra fat in the lower face and neck.

How long does facelift recovery take? 

Facelift recovery is an essential part of achieving the best possible results. Dr. Cuzalina and his team will guide you through recovery, ensuring comfort and optimal healing. Generally, most patients are able to resume normal activities within a few weeks, with visible swelling and bruising subsiding gradually. Post-surgery care guidance and personalized support are always provided, reflecting the high standard of patient care at Tulsa Surgical Arts.  Some patients can look very good at 1-2 weeks while others may have a few areas of lingering bruising for 3-4 weeks.  Everyone should expect varying degrees of puffiness that shrinks almost every day but can take months before all the edema is completely resolved.

Is a facelift a long-lasting solution? 

While a facelift can dramatically improve your appearance, it is not an enduring solution to aging. However, the results can last for many years. Many patients say while they continue to age after a face or neck lift, that they still feel like they look younger because of the lift even many years later.  Patients may occasionally do a 'mini tuck' a decade later to be refreshed but most feel that they still look much better than they would have decades later and rarely do the same procedure twice.  Key benefits include:  

  • Tightening of loose skin: Creates a firmer, youthful appearance 
  • Reduction of wrinkles and fine lines: Enhances the overall smoothness of the face 
  • Improved facial contours: Defines and accentuates your natural features 
  • Long-lasting results: Can last for many years, especially with proper care and maintenance. Regular follow-up appointments with Dr. Cuzalina or any of the excellent providers of services at Tulsa Surgical Arts and Bella Roma Med Spa can help maintain the youthful results achieved by your facelift.
