Facelift Evaluation
To make your facelift consultation a success, plan on discussing the following information with your doctor:
- List of previous surgeries
- Your past and present medical conditions.
- Treatments you have received
- Medication(s) and nutritional supplements(s) you are taking
If you have realistic desires to loose more than 15 pounds in the
near future, it is important to discuss this with your surgeon, as your
weight loss may affect the results of your facelift.
During your visit you will discuss with your doctor the factors
that may affect your facelift results such as gaining or losing a significant
amount of weight. Your doctor will assess your bone structure and the underlying
tissue of the face. The thickness, texture and elasticity of your skin as
well as the severity of wrinkles and folds will also be considered. Your
hairline will be evaluated to determine where incisions can be discreetly
placed. All of the above factors will be considered in creating your facelift
surgical plan.
