Elected Best Doctor in Orlando

A Facelift may be right for you if you:

• Are in good health and want to achieve dramatic results that make you look 5 to 10 years younger.

As we age our skin loses elasticity, wrinkles develop and facial tissues lose youthful fullness and start to sag, this process starts to occur as early as our thirties. A facelift, one of the most commonly performed procedures today, can provide a remarkable improvement to the appearance of the face. It is the ideal treatment for correcting a sagging jaw line, falling cheeks and a blunted neckline. Years ago, when facelifts first gained popularity, surgeons utilized methods that often left the face looking “wind-blown” or “pulled.”

Today, surgeons are trained in the most advanced and precise techniques, utilizing a different approach to facelifting. Dr. Johnston has specialized training and has achieved board certification in Plastic Surgery which has helped him to develop gentle and precise techniques that yield natural results.

Dr. Johnston utilizes a conservative approach to facelifting which involves filling and restoring depleted areas to rejuvenate the face and project a more youthful and refreshed appearance. His experience and expertise has allowed him to focus on the face, achieving natural results. His facelifting methods utilize the safest techniques, and his artistic eye and precisely skilled surgical hands leave you looking 10 to 15 years younger without anyone being able to tell that you underwent a procedure.

Problem Areas

• Sagging cheeks
• Puffy Eyes
• Loose skin around the face

More information about Face Lifts

The goal of a facelift is not to give you a different look, but to regain a younger look by sculpting both the skin and the tissue beneath. Fat can be added to lessen and eliminate wrinkles, creases and lines, and restore the younger, natural contours of your face.

A face lift is actually a variety of procedures that involve raising the facial skin, eliminating folds and lines, and tightening the underlying neck muscles. Areas of focus include the region under the chin, the cheeks and the eye regions. Today’s modern lift frequently includes suctioning of extra fat in strategic areas. The forehead and eyebrows are sometimes included or done in a separate procedure. Small incisions made in front of and behind the ears are virtually unnoticeable when healed.

Dr Johnston will perform the operation in the surgicenter. The procedure lasts approximately two to four hours and you will be under anesthesia. You will go home with dressings around your head and neck, which are usually removed in our office the next day. Minimal initial discomfort if easily controlled with oral medication. Sutures are removed within 14 days and any bruising and swelling that you will experience decreased to “socially acceptable” levels within 10 to 20 days. The final result is evident in 4 to 6 weeks or sooner with continued improvement for several months.

Results vary, based on factors that include smoking, heredity, and sun exposure. In general however, a facelift will last many years.
