Facelift

Lower Facelift in Columbus, Ohio addresses the  effects of aging on your face and neck. So it’s not surprising that facelift surgery in Columbus, Ohio has become the third most desired facial plastic surgical procedure. The term “lower facelift” most commonly refers to the lower third of the face and neck. A facelift (rhytidectomy) will give your face a more youthful, fresher look and in the process, boost your self-esteem. Dr. Stephen Nogan is a board certified facial plastic surgeon who specializes in facelift surgery.

Facelift Areas of Improvement

 

Nasolabial folds, marionette lines, jowls and neck all benefit from a lower facelift.

Results Will Last

 

A lower facelift, on average, will last 7-10 years.

Recovery Time

 

The recovery for a lower facelift is 10-14 days.

Facelift Recovery Process

 

Following your lower facelift, a head dressing is worn for 1-2 days. Some bruising and swelling is expected but usually is resolved by 10 days. This typically affects the neck and lower face area however the bruising may travel lower. Facelift patients should expect Temporary numbness of the cheeks and ear lobes that may last for 3-4 months. Facelift surgery is usually associated with little to no pain. Patients can resume normal activities 10 days after the facelift procedure.

Why have a facelift?

In years past, facelift patients stayed in the hospital for three to four days after surgery and dropped out of society for months. When they reappeared, the changes were so dramatic that everyone knew they’d had plastic surgery.

Advancements in facelift surgery in recent years have come a long way. Today’s facelift procedures result in a more natural appearance, longer-lasting improvement. In most cases, patients can return to normal activities 10-14 days after surgery.

Facelift Recovery Process

Most patients take 7-10 days off from work or social activities and report little to no pain. All patients are seen 1-2 days post-operative and again five-seven days later. Patients are released to drive once they are off of pain medication. Facelift patients are asked to sleep with the head elevated about their heart to help minimize swelling. A few pillows or a recliner seem to be the most popular options for sleeping.

How much does a facelift cost in Columbus, Ohio?

With advancements in modern medicine and medical technology the fees for a lower facelift will vary. Fees are based on the exact nature of the procedure. Dr. Stephen Nogan performs many different kinds of lifts. Because we all age differently, your lower facelift will be customized to address your individual concerns. Upon consultation patients will receive an exact quote on fees. The average cost of a facelift at Columbus Facial Plastics  is between $9,000-$11,000. Upon consultation and examination we will provide you with an exact quote for the facelift procedure that would best address your individual concerns.

Patients now have choices, such as a lower face lift, a mini face lift, and even a weekend face lift. With advancements in modern medicine and technology, experienced surgeons are now able to customize a surgical procedure in order to address very specific patient concerns. We invite you to learn more by choosing one of the following links:

Additional Procedures

  • Facelift FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Many people assumed only the Hollywood elite can afford this procedure. This is far from the truth. Plenty of Hollywood outsiders including people in Columbus, Ohio have had cosmetic procedures through the years, but no one talked about it. They would slip out of their social circle for several months and then suddenly reappear looking refreshed and rejuvenated. Today, people are much more open to having “things” done. There is so much more information readily available about cosmetic procedures on the internet and elsewhere that aesthetic medicine is no longer taboo and has become much more mainstream.

However, this surgery still remains somewhat mystical. By the time people come to see me for consultation, they are aware their facial skin has loosened, particularly along the jaw line and under the chin or perhaps the muscle bands in the front of the neck are now more visible. Invariably, they will lift their cheeks as if to demonstrate the laxity.

I am often surprised by their reaction when I explain that more often than not moving their skin in that direction requires a facelift. This reaction, I believe, is because patients still think of a facelift as being too aggressive with prolonged downtime. They were hoping for something less invasive and perhaps with no downtime. Why wouldn’t we all think this is the case? We see or hear advertisements nearly every day for quick simple cosmetic procedures and amazing results, with no downtime.

Fortunately, today, there are many more cosmetic options which don’t involve surgery; however, choosing the correct option basically comes down to (1) how much improvement are you expecting, (2) how long do you want that result to last, and (3) how much downtime can you afford. Once you have answered these three questions, you will have a pretty good idea as to what choice will be right for you. My goal in my consultations is to educate my patients so that they feel empowered to make the right choices for themselves.

When you have jowl laxity, creases and shadows along the cheek/lip (nasolabial crease) or jaw line/chin (marionette crease) junctions, fullness or banding under the chin, a facelift will provide the best, most natural, and longest lasting improvement. Facelift patients are usually happy with their results for 8 to 10 years, but a facelift involves surgery and 10 to 14 days of recovery. Most of my facelift patients are able to resume work, physical activities and feel comfortable going out with friends ten days after surgery. You can read more about facelift surgery under the procedures section.

There are less invasive options of course such as Ultherapy and FaceTite.  Each will provide some improvement but will vary in amount and longevity.

How can skin care products help me?

Medical-grade skin care products, whether used as an adjunct to other procedures or as an initial step in improving skin health, help to improve your skin’s appearance and to rejuvenate healthy skin cells. Gels, creams, serums and exfoliators available for purchase have different purposes. It is important to use the regimen that is right for your skin type and lifestyle. We will help you define that regimen as part of your skin care consultation and treatment plan. Our Skin Care Director, Dina Maynard, frequently attends educational conferences all over the country.  She is constantly studying and researching new product lines to be able to provide our patients in Columbus, Ohio with the best clinical skin care products available.

Welcome to Columbus Facial Plastics at The Sullivan Centre.

We believe that healthy, youthful renewal begins with science. Founded in 1996 by Dr. Michael and Christine Sullivan, our practice was the first of its kind in central Ohio. For 20+ years, The Sullivan Centre has led the way in advancing the science of beauty and providing only the safest and most effective surgical and non-surgical treatments for our patients.

I met Dr. Mike, Dr. Chris and the rest of the team in 2014 and have had the incredible opportunity to train and collaborate with Dr. Mike for the past five years. I officially joined The Sullivan Centre in September 2019 and could not be more excited to lead this exceptional practice into the future.

My goal is to provide you with the education and expertise needed to help you feel confident with your decision to pursue surgical or non-surgical treatment. I am proud to be a part of a highly skilled team that delivers personalized care so that you feel comfortable through every step of the process.

In addition to practicing exclusively in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, I also serve as the medical director for our non-surgical services. We are fortunate to have two of the most experienced aesthetic providers in central Ohio in their respective fields. Dina Maynard and Nancy Cotterman, RN have been caring for patients at The Sullivan Centre for a combined 25 years! You won’t find anyone with more training or skill.

Spend as much time as you need learning more about our team and the services we provide. We are passionate about what we do, and we would love to see you soon.
