What Is a Facelift Like?
It is standard for a facelift to be done under general anesthesia. Incisions will be made in inconspicuous areas of the face, usually along the hairline. The skin will be loosed from its attachment and the underlying tissues will be tightened to make sure that the effects will last a long time and mask the incision scars.Recovering from a Facelift

As a “60 Something” retiree my reasons for having a facelift and eyelid surgery were to look better, not different. My friends, former colleagues at work and even my sister who lives in another state have all commented that retirement must be agreeing with me because I look great! I am so pleased with my natural appearance, you are an artist! I have never felt so cared for as a patient and cared about as a person as I did with you, Dr. Hoffman. You have a wonderful gift. I will be pleased to share my experience with other patients who are anxious about facelifts and eyelid surgery. Sincerely,Barbara L.
