Facelift in Destin, FL with Dr. L. Scott Ennis

A Natural-Looking, Youthful Lift with Facelift Surgery

Aging, gravity, sun damage, weight fluctuations and other factors all contribute to a sagging effect in the face and neck that can make you look old, worn out, tired and even angry. As the face ages, it loses its structural support as the muscles, ligaments and fat pads become lax, causing the skin to droop as it loses its structural support.

About Facelift Surgeon, Dr. Ennis

Dr. Ennis’ precise facelift surgical technique combats these unattractive effects by lifting and tightening the structures of the face, creating a more youthful and natural appearance while avoiding the pulled, overdone look! Some of his patients have even referred to this as the Artist Lift due to the awards Dr. Ennis has won for his art work.

Dr. Ennis has spent much time studying facial anatomy and uses his surgical experience and skill set along with his artistic background to create a much more rested and youthful appearance! He believes that although we can’t stop the clock, we can sure turn it back!

Are You a Good Candidate for Facelift Surgery?

Thinking about having a face lift? You may be a good candidate if you:

  1. Are in overall good health, with no serious medical concerns
  2. Have loose, hanging neck skin
  3. Have jowls or loose, sagging skin on the mid-face
  4. Are constantly asked if you are tired or sad when you feel rested and well
  5. Feel great but don’t like what you see in the mirror

Dr. Ennis’ Facelift Procedure — the Artist Lift

Facelift surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure that typically takes between three to four hours to complete, though it may take longer, depending on the patient’s anatomy and individual needs for surgery as well as other procedures that are combined with the facelift.

Dr. Ennis begins the facelift procedure by making small, well-concealed incisions that begin around the front of the ear and continue around the ear lobe and then tuck behind the ear and eventually into the hairline behind the ear. There is also a small incision under the chin. From these incision points, the skin of the cheek and neck are separated from the underlying tissue and excess fat and skin are trimmed. The facial muscles of the mid-face and neck are lifted and tightened to re-support the structural aspect of the face. The skin is then gently replaced over the tightened muscles. By tightening the muscles and not the skin, the result is a very nice, natural and rested look that is not pulled. Small sutures are then used to close the incisions.

Since a facelift only addresses the structural issues of the face, it is often combined with a chemical peel or laser treatment to help with the appearance of the skin itself. Since these skin treatments reduce or eliminate fine lines and sun damaged skin, this combination of ideal for achieving optimal results.

Facelift Surgery Recovery

Following the facelift procedure, patients can expect some swelling and bruising on the face and neck, which typically subsides after the first one or two weeks. Dressings will be wrapped around the head and face the first night to help alleviate swelling and protect the incisions so that they heal properly. It is recommended that patients keep their heads elevated and sleep with their upper body propped up with pillows for the first few days of the recovery period.

This will help with the swelling. Normal exercise should be avoided for at least two weeks post-surgery. Smoking should be avoided completely for at least a month before and several months after surgery, to prevent interfering with the healing process.

Typically, patients can return to work within one to two weeks after surgery, depending on their vanity level and who they have told they are having the procedure done. If they have told all of their friends, then they will likely feel comfortable being seen out and about in a week, but will still have some bruising and swelling. If they do not wish to go out of the house until all bruising and swelling is gone, then they should expect about two weeks for all for the bruising to resolve.

Although results are good by four to six weeks, it takes a full three months to achieve an optimal result. If you are planning to attend an event, such as a family reunion or wedding, you should allow for three months of recovery to achieve your best aesthetic result.
