A Quick Guide to the Preservation Facelift New York
What Is a Preservation Facelift?
The traditional approach to facelifts involves lifting and repositioning the deeper layers of facial tissue, including muscles and fat pads. Whereas, Dr. Rizk’s preservation method aims to achieve a comprehensive rejuvenation. The focus is on maintaining the face’s natural anatomy while addressing signs of aging such as sagging, volume loss and wrinkles. With less disruption to facial structures, the preservation facelift2 reveals a youthful appearance without the “pulled” or “overly tightened” look.
The Preservation Deep Plane Facelift Procedure
Dr. Sam Rizk begins with an initial consultation where he carefully assesses the patient’s facial anatomy and discusses their aesthetic goals. Based on this evaluation, he develops a personalized surgical plan tailored to the patient’s unique needs.
The procedure takes about 2-3 hours to complete and typically starts with the administration of general or local anesthesia with sedation to ensure maximum comfort and safety. Dr. Rizk makes strategic incisions along natural skin folds and the hairline to minimize visible scarring. These incisions allow him to access the deeper layers of facial tissue, including muscles and fat pads. Using his specialized preservation technique, he carefully lifts and repositions these tissues with minimal dissection and skin undermining, preserving the natural blood supply to the skin.
This approach reduces the risk of complications and promotes quicker healing. Once the desired contours are achieved, Dr. Rizk closes the incisions with fine sutures and tissue glue, ensuring an aesthetically pleasing outcome. The area is then dressed to support the healing process, and the patient is monitored as they wake from anesthesia.
Dr. Rizk provides detailed post-operative instructions including guidelines on which activities to avoid, how to sleep, use of medications, and more. He schedules follow-up appointments to ensure a smooth recovery for optimal results.
Preservation Deep Plane Facelift Recovery
Recovery is typically quicker than that of a traditional facelift3 due to the less invasive nature of the procedure. Swelling and bruising are common in the first few days but usually subside within a week. Most patients can return to normal activities within two weeks, though strenuous activities should be avoided for at least four weeks. The full results of the facelift become more apparent as swelling continues to decrease, usually within a few months.
Ideal Candidates
The procedure is ideal for individuals who seek natural-looking results. It is particularly suited for individuals who wish to maintain the natural integrity and movement of their face. Ideal candidates include:
- Individuals with signs of facial aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and slight sagging.
- Don’t want an overly tight appearance.
- Are in good overall health, free from serious medical conditions that could impair healing.
- Non-smokers or willing to quit smoking before and after the surgery.
- People with realistic expectations about the results and the limitations of the procedure.
