Face Lift consultation with Dr Choroomi

Your facial anatomy is unique and distinctive, therefor all surgical treatments must be individually customised to match your aesthetic needs.  During your facial rejuvenation consultation Dr Choroomi will:

  • Examine your facial frame and skin texture.
  • Listen to your concerns and cosmetic objectives.
  • Discuss why you want facial rejuvenation surgery, including expectations and outcomes.
  • Explain the surgical procedure and recovery.
  • Review your treatment options and answer and any questions.

Photography and digital imaging can be performed to give you an idea of what your jawline and neck may look like after facial rejuvenation surgery. During all cosmetic consultations all patients will undergo psychological screening and we may refer you to a psychologist.

How is a Face Lift performed?

Dr Choroomi’s preferred technique for facial rejuvenation surgery is an extended deep plane face lift. This novel approach to face lifting targets both the skin and deeper soft tissue layers to create a smooth, natural appearance. Other face lifting procedures rely solely on the skin to lift and hold the tissues in place, often resulting in a pulled back, tethered look.

The incision for a deep-plane face lift is hidden around the ear. After the deep tissues are elevated and repositioned in a natural position, excess skin is trimmed and meticulously sutured for an un-operated appearance. Deep plane facial rejuvenation surgery provides a longer lasting result from other methods.

Recovery After Face Lift Surgery

During your preoperative appointment, Dr Choroomi will provide you with specific post-operative instructions. Although the results of your face lift can be seen almost immediately, the recovery time is approximately 2 weeks. During this time you can expect:

  • A tight bandage placed around your head for 1-2 days
  • Minor pain lasting 1-2 days
  • Minor swelling will improve gradually
  • Numbness around the ears
  • Bruising around the jawline and sides of the face

Sutures will be removed after 8 days and you may typically resume physical activity after 2 weeks. Dr. Choroomi will schedule follow up appointments to monitor and assess your recovery following facial rejuvenation surgery.
