What goes into the decision to get a facelift?
Dr. Stum delves into the considerations and procedures involved in choosing a facelift. She notes that many patients transition from simply pulling their skin in the mirror to committing to surgery. A facelift primarily lifts the skin and muscle from the cheeks to the neck. Additional procedures such as brow lifts, CO2 laser resurfacing, and fat grafting can be combined for enhanced results. Dr. Sturm emphasizes the importance of selecting a surgeon whose aesthetics match your own and having a support system during recovery.
Understanding these elements can assist in making informed decisions about facelifts and achieving a natural, rejuvenated appearance. For more insights, visit Dr. Angela Sturm's website or follow her on social media.

Key Takeaways
1. Individuals seek facelifts not out of vanity but as a form of self-care. Feeling good about one's appearance can significantly boost self-esteem and overall well-being.
2. A facelift primarily targets the area from the cheeks to the neck, lifting the skin and muscle to enhance facial appearance. It is often misunderstood, so clear communication with a surgeon about expectations is crucial.
3. Facelifts can be complemented with other procedures like CO2 lasers and fat grafting to achieve more comprehensive results. These additional treatments address skin texture, volume loss, and other aging changes.
4. Selecting a surgeon involves considering their aesthetic sense, looking at before-and-after photos, and ensuring clear communication. Additionally, having a support system during recovery is important.
5. Preparing for a facelift involves avoiding certain non-surgical treatments like deep dermal energy treatments (e.g., microneedling with RF) and fillers that can complicate surgery. Opt instead for treatments like botox and lasers that prime the skin without creating deep scar tissue.
