Frequently Asked Questions
How long will I need to take off work?
If you work remotely, you can return to work in a few days. Most patients return to the office in 1-2 weeks. Initial swelling and bruising typically peak around day 3-4 and significantly improve within the first two weeks.
How much does a facelift cost?
The cost of a facelift can vary based on several factors such as your individual anatomy, the number of areas being addressed, and the specific techniques used to achieve your desired results. For instance, while a facelift procedure can start at $20,000, a more involved variation (Facelift AND Necklift, Deep Plane, SMAS, etc.) can start at $40,000. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your goals in detail and create a personalized plan that aligns with your unique needs.
Will people be able to tell I had surgery?
Dr. Diaz’s technique focuses on natural-looking results. Most patients report that friends and colleagues notice they look refreshed, well-rested, or younger, but can’t pinpoint exactly why. The incisions are carefully hidden within your natural hairline and facial contours.
How painful is the recovery really?
Most patients report experiencing tightness and pressure, rather than sharp pain. Many patients only need over-the-counter pain medication after the first few days. We provide comprehensive pain management protocols to ensure your comfort.
What happens if I gain or lose weight after my facelift?
Moderate weight fluctuations (10-15 pounds) typically won’t significantly impact your results. However, substantial weight changes can affect your facial appearance. Maintaining a stable weight will help preserve your results longer.
Will a facelift affect my facial expressions?
Dr. Diaz’s technique preserves natural facial movement and expressions. You’ll still look like yourself and maintain all your natural expressions – you’ll just look like a younger, refreshed version of yourself.
What's the right age to get a facelift?
There’s no “perfect” age for a facelift. The right timing depends on your aging patterns, skin quality, and personal goals. While most patients are between 45-65, we evaluate each case individually. Some patients benefit from earlier intervention, while others maintain good skin quality into their 70s.
What can I do to ensure the best possible results?
Following pre- and post-operative instructions carefully is crucial. This includes stopping smoking, maintaining good nutrition, avoiding certain medications, and following our recovery protocols. We’ll provide detailed guidelines and support throughout your journey.
