AFTERDr. Solomon's facelift approach works on the underlying tissues as well as the skin to restore facial contours while maintaining a natural appearance. The procedure is tailored to the patient's facial structure, areas of concern, and desired outcome rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
Dr. Solomon may also recommend facial fat injections, eyelid lifts, or skin resurfacing to complement your facelift, restoring lost volume and improving skin texture for a more complete, longer-lasting result.
Dr. Solomon's holistic approach gives you immediate improvements and tends to provide longer-lasting results than a skin-only lift.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Facelift Recovery
Facelift recovery time varies from patient to patient, but here's what you'll typically experience:
- Day of Surgery: Most patients go home a few hours after the procedure once they recover from anesthesia. However, if you also have multiple other procedures like eyelid lifts, brow lift, fat grafting and CO2 laser resurfacing, an overnight stay at the surgery center or another recovery center may be beneficial.
- Drains: Drains are placed to help remove excess fluid, and you’ll usually wear them for about three to five days.
- Care with Daily Activities: Be gentle when dressing or showering to avoid disturbing the treated area. Although the area will be tender, you can start showering again 24 hours after the surgery.
- Bruising and Swelling: It's normal to experience some bruising and swelling during facelift recovery time, which can last two to three weeks.
- Makeup: By the second week, most swelling has subsided enough that you can begin to wear makeup to cover any lingering bruising.
- Seeing Results: While you'll see changes shortly after the procedure, the final results of your facelift may take three to four months to fully develop as residual swelling resolves.
This procedure sounds attractive because patients often think less is more. Unfortunately, with facial rejuvenation even in younger patients with minimal aging, release of attachments is required to produce a natural look that is long lasting. This lift also compromises on the skin incision and proper removal of excess skin along the correct vector is often not possible. All this results in a compromised result.
In theory this facelift focuses on the middle section of the face to address sagging cheeks and deep nasolabial folds. In practice facial aging is never confined to just one area of the face. A well done facelift needs to reposition the mid and lower face for best outcomes. Mid face lifts were a fashion about a decade ago. Well experienced facelift surgeons who specialize in facial rejuvenation typically do not do these procedures anymore as they do not produce desired results
The SMAS (Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System) lifts address this layer to varying degrees, depending on the surgical approach and the patient's anatomy. The suitability of this technique depends on the patient's individual needs and desired outcome.
For patients with more advanced facial aging, Dr. Solomon offers a deep plane facelift, which repositions the deeper muscle and ligament layers rather than the skin alone. This approach requires more advanced surgical technique and isn't appropriate for every patient, so candidacy is evaluated on an individual basis during consultation.

Risks of a Facelift
All surgical procedures carry some risk. Choosing a highly qualified, triple board-certified surgeon like Dr. Solomon, who operates with meticulous care and prioritizes patient safety, significantly reduces these risks:
- Infection, bleeding, or hematoma
- Unfavorable or visible scarring
- Temporary or permanent changes in skin sensation
- Risks associated with general anesthesia
- Potential need for a future touch-up or revision
Come ready with:
- Your top facial concerns and goals (jawline, neck, cheeks, etc.)
- Photos of yourself from a few different angles and at a younger age, if available, for reference
- Any prior facial procedures or injectable history
- Current medications, supplements, and nicotine use
- A list of questions for Dr. Solomon, for example, his experience with facelifts, what anesthesia will be used, how long facelift recovery typically takes, whether you're a candidate for combining procedures like an eyelid lift or brow lift, and what results you can realistically expect.

This is your opportunity to fully understand the procedure and feel confident that your goals align with the doctor's surgical plan.
You’ll need to follow specific aftercare instructions to have a smooth recovery. This includes keeping your head elevated, avoiding strenuous activities, and taking prescribed medications to manage pain and reduce the risk of infection.
You may have drains in place for a few days, and it’s important to keep the area clean and dry. Bruising and swelling are common and usually subside within a couple of weeks. Dr. Solomon will schedule follow-up appointments with you to monitor your healing process.
Surgeons carefully place incisions in natural creases or hairlines, making scars less noticeable and typically fading over time.
Most patients are between 40 and 60 years old, but the best age depends on individual aging patterns and goals.
A facelift primarily tightens sagging skin and smooths deeper folds, but fine lines may require additional treatments such as injectables or resurfacing.
