How To Know If You Need A Facelift In DC

If you feel that your daily regimen of anti-aging creams or non-surgical options like Botox isn’t making a difference anymore, it could be time to consider a DC facelift with our top DC plastic surgeons at Bruno | Brown Plastic Surgery.

A facelift can also remove excess skin if you have sagging skin around the neck or chin area.

Good candidates for facelifts are individuals who are in overall good health, have realistic expectations for their desired goals/appearance, generally have healthy skin with good elasticity, are non-smokers, or are willing to quit smoking before and during the recovery of the procedure.

DC Facelift Recovery & Results

After your procedure, you can expect soreness and or tightness around the areas of your face that were targeted.

Typically, after two or three weeks a patient has fully recovered with minimal swelling. Incisions aren’t typically noticeable as they’re hidden in places like your hairline.

Each patient’s DC facelift will heal differently and may have varying effects.
