Face Lift in Tampa

The skin on your face is delicate. That is why most men and women begin to see decreased elasticity and sagging in the facial area first. There are a multitude of factors that contribute to your skin’s laxity especially in the facial area such as:

• Gravity

• Age

• Sun exposure

• Genetics

• Rapid weight loss

Request a consultation to meet with Dr. Castellano and learn more about your facelift options near Tampa. Dr. Castellano is a hometown surgeon who has the skill and experience necessary to help you look as young as you feel.

The men and women who are most happy with their facelift results are those who have maintained realistic expectations about what the procedure can achieve.

Some people may be better candidates for the Silhouette InstaLift™, a nonsurgical alternative to traditional facelift surgery. Most facelift patients are in their 40s to 60s, and should be in good mental and physical health overall.

A facelift will not make you look like you’re in your 20s again, although the major signs of aging can be greatly reduced. The best facelifts don’t look obviously surgical, but instead, help you look like you have a newfound health and vitality.

Following a facelift, you can expect to look younger and more refreshed. The procedure itself requires Dr. Castellano to make several incisions in key locations of the face, usually hidden behind the ear and beyond the hairline.

The underlying framework of facial muscles is pulled together and tightened. Any excess skin and fat will be removed for additional sculpting, and finally, the facial skin will be re-draped across the refreshed underlying musculature.

The surgery may take 2 to 4 hours or more, depending on how extensive the procedure is and whether any other procedures are included as well.

Depending on what he thinks is best for your facelift, Dr. Castellano may use one of several different techniques which can also affect procedure length. The technique used depends on how much correction is needed and which area of the face specifically needs to be addressed.

After the procedure, swelling and bruising are both very common. You may also feel tightness or other mild discomfort in your face. Have faith that even though your results may take some time to be revealed, your look will be improved following surgery.

The most noticeable bruising and swelling should fade within a few weeks, although it may take several weeks for the final results of your facelift to become fully apparent.

The results of your facelift will be permanent, but of course nothing can entirely prevent the aging process. A facelift is a very effective way to turn back the clock by several years and remain younger-looking for longer.

Further signs of aging following your procedure may be minimized by wearing sunscreen and taking good care of your skin.
