The Facelift:
Fact vs. Myth
A
facelift,
also
known
as
rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure
performed to improve the signs of
aging in the face and neck. If you are
concerned about the appearance of
your face and neck, a facelift may be
right for you.
Some of the areas that a facelift can
address are these:
Ÿ Sagging midface
Ÿ Deep creases below the
eyelids
Ÿ Deep creases along the nose
extending to the corner of the
mouth
Ÿ Loose skin or fat deposits
under the chin and jaw giving
the appearance of a double
chin in a person with normal
weight
There are many myths and
misconceptions surrounding the topic
of facelift surgery. In this month’s
article, we hope to clarify any
confusion and shed light on the topic.
Myth: Facelifts create a plastic,
unnatural look.
Truth:
Too
many
surgical
procedures or poorly performed
procedures are often the cause of the
plastic look many associate with
having a facelift. When performed by
a qualified, board certified plastic
surgeon, a facelift can result in a
natural, more youthful appearance.
Myth: Facelifts require an incision
completely around the head.
Truth: The traditional facelift
incision
involves
an
incision
beginning in front of or just above the
ear and runs behind the ear into the
hairline. An alternative to this is a
limited incision, which uses shorter
incisions at the temples and continues
around the ear.
Myth: A facelift does not leave any
scars.
Truth: Scars are an inevitable part of
any surgical procedure. A qualified
plastic surgeon is trained to minimize
the appearance of scars and should
be able to hide scars within the folds
and creases of the skin.
Myth: Anyone can have a facelift.
Truth: As with any surgical
procedure, the patient’s medical
history must be considered to ensure
a positive outcome is achieved.
Facelift surgery may be a good option
if you are in good health, do not
smoke and have a healthy, positive
outlook about your appearance with
realistic goals.
Myth: Recovering from a facelift is a
painful and long process.
Truth: Most surgical procedures
require at least some downtime to
allow the body to recover; however,
most recover from a facelift within a
week and report that it is not an
overly painful process. Swelling
typically lasts a few days and
bruising should subside after several
weeks.
Myth:
Facelifts
are
costly
procedures.
Truth: The cost for a facelift can
vary from surgeon to surgeon. The
price is also dependent on the
metropolitan area that the procedure
is performed as well as the surgeon’s
experience. It is important to consider
not only price when selecting a
surgeon, but also surgeon skill and
your comfort level with the surgeon.
While most insurance plans do not
cover facelift procedures, we are
pleased to offer financing options to
interested patients.

The Facelift:
Fact vs. Myth
Continued from page 3
Myth: Facelifts are not long
lasting.
Truth: Facelifts are long lasting
procedures when the proper care is
taken by the patient. The best way
to keep your face looking its best
is with the regular use of sun
protection, not smoking and living
an otherwise healthy lifestyle. The
results of a facelift will be
appreciated many years after the
procedure. In fact, facelift patients
will appear more youthful decades
following the procedure. Certainly
more so than if they had not reserve a seat for our January

Dr. Stoeckel’s Case of the Month:
This is a 60 year old female who
presented to me with an interest in
facial rejuvenation. She did not want
to have a quick fix that needed to be
repeated, but rather was interested in
a relatively long term solution. Her
biggest concerns were improving her
neck and jowls. She also was very
interested in adding some volume to
her cheeks. She had a lower lid
blepharoplasty in 2007 with
somewhat disappointing results.
I found Martha to be a great
candidate for a face and neck lift.
She had lost some significant
volume in the midface and benefited
nicely from fat grafting as an
adjuvant treatment. I added a small
amount of fat to her upper lids as
well to reduce the “hollow”
appearance under her brow. The
facial tissue has been elevated and
tightened, but she does not have a
wind-swept appearance.

Patty’s Pick:
Skin Medica’s Redness
Relief Calmplex®
Hello again!
Happy New Year to all! Did you make a New Year’s Resolution? Was it to get your skin in the best possible
shape it can be? Did you know that just like your body, your skin has a metabolism too?! When you look in
the mirror, do you see dull skin? Large pores? Uneven skin tone? If so, it is time to get your skin into shape!
Again, just like your body, your skin needs time to rejuvenate. Wouldn’t it be great if we could go to the gym
one time and have that instant beach body? Well, the same goes for your skin - only in our dreams! Start the
New Year out right and call to schedule a complimentary consultation today.
For the best health of your skin,
Patty
This Month’s Pick:
Skin Medica’s Calmplex®
My product pick for January is Redness Relief
Calmplex by SkinMedica. This product is fantastic
for visibly red skin. Red skin is typically caused by
enlarged blood vessels under the skin. Sun exposure,
rosacea, nervousness, acne and sometimes just plain
“Old Man Winter” can wreak havoc on the skin.
Redness Relief Calmplex is used twice a day. Results
can truly be seen in as little as two weeks. I
encourage you to try this product. You won’t be
disappointed!
Redness Relief Calmplex retails for $80 and should
last approximately 3 months.
Redness Relief Calmplex contains a proprietary
bioactive ingredient that reduces redness. This
ingredient does not conceal the redness, but addresses
the cause, ensuring the promotion of healthy skin.
I have been extremely pleased with the results of this
product on myself and my clients!
