Rhytidectomy Plastic Surgery
Experience the transformative effects of a face lift, also known as a rhytidectomy, at North Star Plastic Surgery, led by the experienced surgeon, Dr. Erick Martell, in Fairbanks, AK. A face lift is a surgical procedure aimed at reducing the visible signs of aging in the face and neck, restoring a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
Under the skilled hands of Dr. Martell, incisions are strategically placed within the hairline or behind the ears to minimize visible scarring. Through meticulous techniques, Dr. Martell lifts and tightens the skin and underlying muscles of the face and neck, addressing concerns such as sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and loss of facial volume. Excess fat may also be removed, and underlying muscles tightened to enhance facial contours.
Depending on the extent of the procedure, Dr. Martell may utilize local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort throughout. A face lift can be customized to meet individual needs and may be combined with complementary procedures such as brow lifts, eyelid surgery, or facial fillers for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Following the procedure, the face may be wrapped in bandages or a compression garment to aid in reducing swelling and supporting the new contours. While recovery times vary, most patients can expect to return to work and normal activities within two to three weeks, reveling in the renewed confidence and youthful appearance achieved through Dr. Martell's expertise and precision at North Star Plastic Surgery in Fairbanks, AK.
