Toronto Facelift

A facelift re-sculpts your face, and when done properly, truly takes years off your appearance. Facelift surgery tightens the cheeks and neck, and redefines the jawline. It results in the elimination of facial wrinkles, the repositioning of sagging skin and facial fat, and tightening of the skin. A facelift is often combined with a browlift and eyelid surgery for total facial rejuvenation.

After surgery you will have a tight bandage around your face. It is designed to apply pressure to the face to minimize the risk of bleeding, the most common complication after this surgery. You will be asked to avoid any activities that raise your blood pressure. Swelling and bruising will be most noticeable after the first day and will slowly subside after that. You should avoid any strenuous physical activity for two weeks. If you work in an office setting, you should be able to return to work after a few days.
