What Concerns Can a Facelift Treat?

A facelift (also known as a rhytidectomy) is a customized surgery designed to tighten and lift your skin, making you look more youthful and rested. We often use it to:

  • Remove Extra Skin
  • Take Away Excess Fat
  • Minimize Your Jowls
  • Smooth Wrinkles

This treatment only addresses the bottom two-thirds of your face. If you're also unhappy with your brow area, Dr. Kishinevsky can potentially combine your facelift with a mini brow lift.

Dr. Kishinevsky Explains Facelift Surgery

Considering rhytidectomy? It can tighten the skin and other tissues of the jowls, forehead, and cheeks, as well as tissues near the mouth and eyes. These changes reduce lines and wrinkles, correct sagging skin, and reverse the tired look that develops with age. Our doctor can guide you through every step, starting with a surgical consultation.

You're One of a Kind You Deserve Attentive Care

“Dr. Kishinevsky is one of those doctors that are just one of a kind. From the moment I walked into her office and met Lisa and Nikki for the first time (who are amazing and make you feel right at home and relaxed with their smiles) to meeting Dr.K it was an amazing experience. Dr. Kishinevsky has the absolute best bedside manner and can take someone as nervous as I was to feeling calm and relaxed. Even after surgery everyone experiences one or two moments of panic. One call to the office and Lisa or Nikki would reassure me everything I was experiencing was completely normal and I would be ok…If you are looking for perfection and detail that looks so natural this is the absolute best doctor that you could go to!!” Christina Granchelli

Understanding Rhytidectomy Cost Factors

Pricing for facelift surgery can fluctuate substantially based on the extent of the surgery, which hospital or facility it is performed at, and the price of anesthesia. If patients opt for added-on treatments, like a neck lift, blepharoplasty, or mini brow lift, the cost will change accordingly. 

Not sure if rhytidecotomy is in your budget? Dr. Kishinevsky can transparently estimate the cost of your facelift procedure in a consultation. She also strives to make treatment feasible for Norwalk facelift patients by accepting multiple payment options.

Anesthesia

Almost all facelifts require general anesthesia, although some minor surgeries can be completed with only a local anesthetic.

Incisions

To make sure scarring is as discreet as possible, Dr. Kishinevsky makes her incisions behind the ear, under the sideburns, or above the hairline.

Tightening

Dr. Kishinevsky will access the underlying tissue. She will then tighten the muscles and remove excess skin and fat. This greatly minimizes the appearance of wrinkles, jowls, and other signs of aging.

Final Touches

Dr. Kishinevsky will conclude the facelift surgery by closing the incisions with stitches. She strategically places the stitches so that they provide necessary support to your face during your recovery.

Facelift Recovery

After your procedure, Dr. Kishinevsky will provide you with detailed instructions related to your recovery. Most patients can return to work after about two weeks, and can expect the majority of swelling to subside after about three weeks. After your healing is complete, you can enjoy your refreshed, youthful look for years to come.

If you're in search of the best in the business, Dr. Anya Kishinevsky and her team are the ones you need. I did a ton of reserach before undergoing a minor procedure with Dr. Kishinevsky and was quite the nervous Nellie before our meeting. Nevertheless, they took their time with me, ensuring my comfort at every stage of the process. Everything went perfectly, and I couldn't feel better about it. Thank you!
