A More Focused Approach to Facial Rejuvenation
A lateral facelift is a more limited facelift procedure that may be appropriate for patients who are looking for improvement along the sides of the face and neck without undergoing a more extensive facelift. Because every patient’s facial structure, skin laxity, and goals are different, determining which approach is appropriate requires an individual evaluation.
For some patients, a lateral facelift can provide meaningful tightening while offering a shorter recovery than a traditional facelift. During your consultation, Dr. Blanchet can evaluate the areas you would like to improve and help determine whether a lateral facelift, mini-facelift, or another approach would provide the result you are looking for.
What is a Lateral Facelift?
Choosing between a lateral facelift, mini-facelift, or a more traditional facelift is an individual decision. Patients can have very different patterns of facial and neck aging, and the procedure that works well for one person may not provide the same result for another. During your consultation, Dr. Blanchet can help you understand the differences between these approaches and determine which option best fits your anatomy and goals.
Because a lateral facelift can involve a different approach to tightening the face and neck than a traditional facelift, it is helpful to understand the broader range of facelift techniques before making a decision. Reviewing additional information can give you a better understanding of what facelift surgery involves, what to expect, and the factors that may influence your surgical plan.
