Questions to Ask Your Plastic Surgeon Before Getting a Facelift

Facelifts are a popular option for facial rejuvenation. They can improve the overall appearance of the face by tightening and removing excess skin, as well as minimizing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. However, getting a facelift is a significant decision that requires careful consideration and planning. Before you decide to go through with the procedure, it’s important to ask your plastic surgeon certain questions to ensure your safety and satisfaction. Read on to find out which key questions you should ask your plastic surgeon before getting a facelift.

 

Certification and Training

Ensure your plastic surgeon is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (like Dr. Scott Brenman) and has received specific training in plastic surgery. Find out how many years of plastic surgery training they have had, and whether they have hospital privileges to perform the facelift procedure.

 

Surgical Facility Accreditation

Check if the surgical facility where the procedure will be performed is accredited and recognized by the state or national authorities, or whether it is state-licensed or Medicare-certified.

 

Are You a Good Candidate for the Procedure?

Ask your surgeon whether you are a good candidate for the facelift procedure, and what will be expected of you to get the best results. They will also discuss your medical history, and current health status and determine whether you’re a candidate.

 

Surgical Technique and Recovery

You should ask where and how the facelift procedure will be performed, what surgical technique is recommended for your specific goals, and how long the recovery period will be. You should also ask about the kind of help you will need during the recovery period so you can prepare ahead of time. 

 

Risks and Complications

Ensure that you ask about the risks and complications associated with a facelift, including how complications are handled and any possible negative effects that can occur during and after the surgery.

 

What To Expect

Find out how your face will look over time and what options are available if you’re not satisfied with the outcomes. Ask to see before-and-after photos of patients who have had facelifts and what results are reasonable for you.

 

Deciding to get a facelift is a big decision. It’s important to ensure that you’re asking your plastic surgeon key questions to ensure the procedure is a success. By using the above checklist and engaging in open communication with your surgeon, you can make the most informed decision about whether a facelift is the right choice for you. Remember, investing time in researching the right surgeon and asking the right questions will help you get the best result possible.
