Most Commonly Asked Facelift Chicago Questions

What is facelift surgery?

If you are bothered by signs of aging in your face, facelift surgery may be right for you. Technically known as rhytidectomy, a facelift is a surgical procedure to improve visible signs of aging in the face and neck, such as:

• Sagging in the midface


• Deep creases below the lower eyelids


• Deep creases along the nose extending to the corner of the mouth


• Fat that has fallen or is displaced


• Loss of muscle tone in the lower face may create jowls


• Loose skin and excess fatty deposits under the chin and jaw can make even a person of normal weight appear to have a double chin

Someone once said ‘ignorance is bliss.’ Not in this case. The more you know about the procedure you are subjecting yourself to, the more relaxed you will feel. Here are the most commonly asked questions, and their respective answers, regarding the facelift procedure, according to facelift Chicago expert Dr. Steven Bloch.

Can I undergo facelift?

Yes, if you exhibit the signs associated with facial aging. However, one requirement is that your skin must still have some kind of elasticity left. You must be in good overall mental and physical condition.

Will I look younger after a facelift?

Generally, yes. But it is important that you manage expectations. While an excellent facelift can make you look younger, it is not meant to provide solutions to psychological or personal issues.

What happens during consultation?

The plastic surgeon will first examine your face and will make necessary suggestions. He or she will also provide you with a before and after image made available with today’s technology. Expect questions concerning your medical history.

How should I prepare for surgery?

Wear loose, comfortable clothes preferably a button-down shirt or blouse. Have someone accompany you so he or she could drive you home. For smokers, your surgeon will instruct you to stop smoking to facilitate the healing process.

Surely, there are a lot of questions not covered here but this is a good place to start. Talk to a Dr. Steven Bloch, a well-renowned plastic surgeon and he will be very happy to answer all your other questions for you.
