Revitalize, Rejuvenate, and Radiate

Aging can affect your facial appearance, causing wrinkles, sagging skin, and loss of youthful contours. Athēnix can help turn back time and recapture your radiance with advanced facelift surgery in Scottsdale, AZ (Also known as rhytidectomy). It tightens sagging facial muscles, removes excess fat, and smooths wrinkled skin, resulting in a more youthful look that lasts up to a decade.

The Benefits of a Facelift

  • By tightening the skin and muscles, a facelift reduces the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin
  • Your jawline and cheekbones are redefined, providing a more youthful and attractive facial structure
  • A facelift can significantly enhance the texture of your skin, making it look healthier and more radiant
  • Our experienced surgeons at Athēnix are experts in restoring facial symmetry, creating a more harmonious and balanced look

How It Works

Incisions

Your surgeon will make small, inconspicuous incisions, typically located around the ears and sometimes along the hairline.

Tightening Muscles and Tissues

The underlying facial muscles and tissues are carefully tightened to restore firmness and support.

Excess Skin Removal

Any excess skin is removed, and the remaining skin is re-draped, resulting in a smoother surface.

Anesthesia

The surgery is generally performed under general anesthesia, although local anesthesia with sedation may be an option.

Targeted Treatment Areas

  • Marionette lines
  • Sagging facial skin and muscles
  • Deep creases across the face
  • Nasolabial folds
  • Sagging in the middle portion of your face
  • Jowls
  • Fallen fat and tissue
  • Hollows underneath the eyes
  • Banding in the neck region
  • The appearance of a double chin
  • Deep facial folds near the mouth

Your Recovery Process

Day of Surgery

Following your facelift surgery, you'll receive close monitoring by our medical staff in a dedicated recovery room. You'll receive pain medication and detailed instructions for caring for your incisions and bandages to manage discomfort, swelling, and pain.

Following Days

After your facelift, rest is essential, and strenuous activities should be avoided. To manage common side effects like bruising and swelling, ice packs, pain medication, and compression garments are recommended to promote an optimal healing environment.

One Week

You'll return for a follow-up appointment at the one-week mark to remove stitches and drains. While light activities are generally permissible, avoiding strenuous activities and following your surgeon's advice for a successful recovery is important.

Two Weeks

During the second week of your facelift recovery, you can gradually reintegrate into your daily life but avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise. Although you may experience some swelling and tenderness, these symptoms should subside, and you should feel more comfortable healing.

Six Weeks

At the six-week mark of your facelift recovery, you'll notice significant progress, and most normal activities, including exercise and lifting, can be resumed. Your facial features will settle into their new, more youthful shape and size, and you'll see the full benefits of your facelift surgery.

Three Months

Approaching the three-month post-surgery milestone, your face should be fully healed, with any swelling or discomfort gradually fading. You'll begin to see your facelift's remarkable transformation, including a more youthful, revitalized appearance.

Six Months

At the six-month point, you'll fully realize the results of your facelift, with a transformed face and improved self-confidence, comfort, and appearance. You'll appreciate the positive impact of your facelift on your overall well-being and self-esteem.

Naturally Beautiful Results

Following your facelift, you can anticipate a more youthful, refreshed appearance as sagging skin and excess fat are eliminated, and your natural contours are restored. As swelling subsides, you will begin to see the full results of your procedure. With proper care and maintenance, the results of your facelift can last for years, revitalizing your self-esteem and helping you feel confident in your appearance.
