Rediscover the youthful and vibrant you—with an exquisite facelift with Dr. Nicolas Wingate.
Everyone’s skin gradually loses its youthful elasticity with age. As this process progresses, you’ll notice the effects on your face with facial folds, loose skin around your jawline, and drooping cheeks.
During a facelift, Dr. Wingate gently elevates those sagging facial tissues and removes any excess skin to restore your soft, smooth, and youthful face.
At Wingate Plastic Surgery, you come first–always. Whether you’re in the office for an appointment or calling with a question, you can expect our undivided attention and trusted guidance. Selecting the right plastic surgeon is paramount, and it’s our privilege to deliver the seamless experience and impeccable outcomes that you deserve.
During your initial consultation at our office, Dr. Wingate will review the various facelift techniques with you as he plans your procedure.
For a traditional approach, he will create small incisions around your ears, hairline, and chin so that he can tighten loose muscles, remove drooping tissue, and smooth away excess skin.
An SMAS facelift is a variation of the traditional approach, which addresses deeper layers of the facial skin for a lasting improvement. During surgery, Dr. Wingate tightens the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (the muscular layer of your face).
The deep plane facelift is an advanced approach that lifts and repositions the deepest layers of your face. Because the adjustments are done beneath the skin’s surface, it ensures a natural transformation.
Once your procedure is complete, Dr. Wingate will close your incisions with care to ensure imperceptible scarring, and you will begin the recovery process.
The duration of your recovery will depend on your age and the type of facelift performed. If you have a mini-facelift, you may return to work within one week. If you have a more invasive full facelift, it could take up to three weeks to return to work.
In addition, it’s important to note that it may take many more weeks until you feel completely healed and like yourself again. Throughout this process, our team is here for you. If you have questions or need support, we’ll be with you every step of the way.
