Even if these factors do not exactly describe you, there are almost certainly other ways and techniques that can help you achieve your goals of facial rejuvenation. Please feel free to share any concerns you have so that we can help you choose the right path forward. There are different surgical techniques available, and Dr. Do will explain whether you will need a mini facelift or a full facelift, and which methods will be used.
Dr. Do uses the latest techniques to optimize and reposition sagging skin and facial tissue with a deep plane facelift combined with bi-lamellar facelift and neck lift. These techniques require extensive training and produce optimal results for most people. Rather than the tight face look resulting from older surgical facelift procedures, these methods release multiple tension points by lifting rather than pulling facial tissues into place. This restores youthful volume to the cheeks and shapes the jawline for a completely natural look that lasts longer than other approaches. Combined with a neck contour using platysmaplasty and muscle resection, amazing results are possible. As your Houston facelift experts, the Aesthetic Surgery Institute supports the artistry and expertise of Dr. Do’s work to reverse the effects of gravity and time on the shape of your face.
Dr. Do and his team will tell you how to prepare for your procedures with detailed pre-surgical instructions. This overview gives you a general idea of what to expect from your Houston facelift procedure.
During your facelift recovery, expect to be laid up for a few days and resting for 2-3 weeks. It is very helpful to have a friend or family member who can care for you at home for the first few days, as you should be resting and sleeping on your back with your head slightly elevated.
Avoid moving around or doing any activities that are not absolutely necessary. You will have a prescription for pain medication and can use cold compresses to reduce swelling. If you have more pain or discomfort than expected, consult with our team for more support and guidance.
After one or two days, the dressings can be removed. If you did have a drainage tube inserted, it will also be taken out. You will notice some swelling and bruising and will not yet be able to see the final results. After 5-7 days, you will return to the office to have your stitches or clips removed at a follow-up visit.
It will take 3-4 weeks for your tissues to heal and for the results to be truly apparent. Follow the facelift recovery instructions to protect your skin while healing and be sure to keep your remaining follow-up appointments. Plan to take an appropriate amount of time to rest and recuperate after your surgery.

Your skin will relax as the swelling goes down, and your scars will heal and become barely noticeable. You should begin to see the more youthful appearance that you wanted after a few weeks have gone by. Start or continue with a daily skin care routine that moisturizes and protects your skin from the sun.
A full facelift can last for a long time, and as the aging process continues, you may want to consider other procedures to enhance your youthful appearance for as long as possible. In time, many women choose to have their facelift renewed, but this might be 10 or 15 years in the future. Choosing the right procedures and the best board-certified cosmetic surgeon will make the most of your investment in yourself.
