Face Lift

Dr. Beam offers face lift surgery for patients in the Gastonbury, Hartford, New Britain and surrounding areas of Connecticut.

Your face can say a lot about who you are and how you feel. Environmental factors such as the sun, wind and pollution can take a toll on your face, making it look dull, wrinkled or older than you are. Dr. Beam offers face lift surgery to dramatically improve the appearance of wrinkles, creases, fat deposits, sagging skin and many other signs of aging. To give you the most natural looking results, Dr. Beam uses the most advanced facelift techniques.

Before Face Lift Surgery

Prior to your surgery, you will have a private discussion with Dr. Beam to decide if facelift surgery can help you achieve your cosmetic goals. By looking at your unique bone structure and the condition of your skin, we can help determine the best treatment option for you. Dr. Beam may also recommend other options for surgery such as a neck lift, brow lift or chin augmentation.

How is a Facelift Performed?

The results that you would like to see from your facelift will determine the facelift methods Dr. Beam uses for your procedure. For a typical procedure, Dr. Beam will begin by making an incision behind the hairline at the temples. After removing the skin from the underlying tissue, he can remove and evenly distribute fat, as well as tighten the muscles to overall improve the contours of your face. The skin can then be repositioned to reduce sagging, age lines and remove excess skin. Finally, the incisions are closed and bandages are carefully placed.

What Can I Expect After Facelift Surgery?

Many patients may experience swelling and bruising after surgery, however these should soon subside to reveal your beautiful results. We will also prescribe pain medication to help alleviate any discomfort you may be feeling. It is recommended that you keep your head elevated for a few days to minimize swelling. You will also be asked to avoid vigorous activities for at least two weeks following facelift surgery.
