Louisiana Face Lift

In a few years, the average baby boomer will be in their 60s. It's hard to imagine, but one thing is for sure: even as you age, your life can continue on with as much energy and dedication as it ever has. Many people consider having a Louisiana face lift procedure at The Wall Center when they find themselves growing older, but they want to look as young and vibrant as they feel inside.

Unfortunately, aging etches itself onto the face more quickly than any other part of the body. That seems unfair, since the face is the only part of your body you cannot hide. While it is unrealistic to look decades younger, a face lift can help maintain your appearance in the years to come and can even take a few years off.

At The Wall Center for Plastic Surgery, we offer a full range of facial plastic surgery in Shreveport, Louisiana, including face lift and other rejuvenation options such as eyelid surgery. To learn more about this procedure, request a consultation online or call our office at (888) 791-1053 . Conveniently located in Shreveport, we serve patients from Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas, and offer a complete array of cosmetic surgery and skin care treatments through Jade MediSpa.

Real Patient Before & After Photos

Who Needs It

The best candidate for a face lift is someone who has sagging skin and wrinkles on the lower portion of their face. For best results, a candidate should have substantial bone structure and some skin elasticity. Prime candidates are usually in their 40s, 50s and 60s, although this is not always the case.

A mid-face lift reduces wrinkles around the eyes and mouth without treating the jowl and neck area. This procedure is much less invasive than a full face lift in Louisiana and allows our patients to enjoy a quicker recovery time. It is also a cornerstone of many facial makeovers that also combine eyelid surgery or brow lift.

Preparing for Your Louisiana Face Lift

When considering a face lift, the first step is to consult with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons in Louisiana who will answer your questions and address your concerns regarding the procedure. You can click here to read face lift FAQs so you can learn even more about this popular procedure before your consultation. The surgeons also can provide you with a realistic idea of the results based on the condition of your skin and bone structure. If you have shorter hair, you may want to start growing out your hair before the procedure to help conceal incisions in the hair line.

The Surgery

Just like fingerprints, each face is completely unique. Therefore, incisions and technique will vary with each patient in order to achieve the desired results. For a full face lift, our Louisiana plastic surgeons make incisions just above the hairline that stretch back down past the ears. With the latest advances, skin is tightened back into position without looking windblown. Rather, skin will appear fresher and younger. After about two weeks, swelling and bruising should be gone, and after about three weeks, you will probably feel comfortable enough to go out in public.

For a mid-face lift, tiny incisions are made around the eyes, hairline and mouth. An endoscope - a tube with a tiny camera on the end - is used to transmit images to a monitor and serve as the "eyes" of the doctor, so only small incisions in hidden areas are needed. The incisions tighten the skin in these areas, erasing most wrinkles. Scars are so subtle that no one will know you had the procedure unless you tell them. Recovery time for the mid-face lift is usually one week.

Results

The final look that results from having a Louisiana face lift is a fresher version of your old self. While some people fear the results will look tight and windblown the reality is that a talented plastic surgeon will be able to create results that look natural and soft. Most people are quite pleased with the results, as the procedure can erase several years from the face, and the effect can last for up to 10 years depending on the condition and elasticity of your skin.
