What To Expect Before, During, And After a Facelift

Consultation

The initial consultation with Dr. White is essential in reaching your aesthetic goals. During this meeting, you'll have the chance to share your objectives, medical history, and any concerns you may have.

Dr. White will assess your facial anatomy to identify the best approach tailored to your individual needs.

Procedure

Facelift procedures can range in complexity, from mini facelifts focusing on specific areas to full facelifts treating the entire face and neck. Typically, discreet incisions are made along the hairline and around the ears. This allows the underlying tissues to be lifted and repositioned, excess skin to be removed, and the incisions to be sutured closed. The procedure is performed under anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the entire process.

Recovery

Following your facelift in New York with Dr. White, it's normal to experience some swelling and bruising. Most patients report only mild discomfort, which can be effectively managed with prescribed medications. It’s important to avoid strenuous activities for a few weeks, and you may need to wear a compression garment during your recovery. Dr. White will give you comprehensive post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth healing process.
