Treatment Process
The first step in the facelift process is a consultation. At the consultation Dr. Yeilding will work with the patient to determine if a facelift is right for them. At this appointment, the cost and scheduling of the surgery will be discussed. Once the facelift is decided upon, a pre-op appointment, operation date, and post-op appointments will be scheduled. The instructions for each appointment and what to expect will be explained by the YMD team.

Downtime
Most patients need 10–14 days of social downtime, though full recovery can take several weeks. Patients will likely feel recovered well before the full effect of the facelift can be seen. Bruising and swelling will peak at around days 3-5 and then gradually improve. Final results are typically seen 6-12 weeks post-op.

During recovery, you may experience some discomfort, swelling, and bruising, which typically subside within a few weeks. Dr. Yeilding will provide detailed post-operative instructions to help manage your recovery effectively. 

Like any surgical procedure, facelift surgery carries potential risks and complications, such as infection, scarring, and temporary numbness. Dr. Yeilding will discuss these risks with you during your consultation and take measures to minimize them.
